How much have you been offered for your ride

I'm trying to find a flat dark blue in a can but all I could find is light blue. Satin sheen seams to turn out blotchy at least for me and almost all blue paint is gloss. Your paint job turned out great!


Back when I mixed R-M and Dupont paints,you could add a flattening agent to the mix to kill the gloss--many guys wanted that flat black like dark gray primer look for rat rods,but the primer didn't keep water from penetrating and eventually let it lose adhesion..
I mixed many gallons of black with the flattening agent and it came out looking like the dark gray primer,but repelled water and wouldn't start lifting after a few months..
I have read cornstarch works as a flattening agent too,never tried it myself..stuff I used at work was a thick liquid that looked like cream of wheat only translucent..

both Mutt, and my K5, are done in flattened black Imron...
 
I’ve had offers from 500 bucks, (guy was clueless) to 15k for my K5 which I turned down.

The C10 gets offers constantly, it’s an old school 90’s style sport truck and one of the only finishes in the area. I had to turn down 7500 the other day.
