When it comes to restoring classics, simplicity paired with strength often creates the most striking results. That’s exactly what Elijah Vaudt Custom Painting achieved with this 1986 Chevrolet Square Body Silverado. Brought back to life with Tamco Paint’s GM Argent Silver Metallic, this Silverado now shines with a timeless finish that perfectly complements its bold, boxy design.
The build started with a rock-solid foundation using HP661 Grey DTA Epoxy (Direct to Anything) Kit and HP5311 Black DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit. From there, the Silverado was coated in GM Argent Silver Metallic | 2779 | 1968;1977 | OEM Basecoat, a color known for its clean and classic aesthetic. Sealed with HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat, the truck now boasts a deep gloss and long-lasting durability that ensures it looks as fresh on the road as it does at a show.
