Someone told me to use a Paint Brush or Roller to Paint :lol: Hahaha
HECK NO!!!

For Primer do I need to use a Spray Gun or just the Can ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I wouldn't normally defend something so horrible as a roller paint job, but.....I keep seeing these people online doing it.
$50 paint job

The originator of this whole fad was a covair, and his site is down now I guess. I was looking for his link because he did the whole car and showed all the steps, it came out great.

AGAIN, not saying I would, but....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

How much did it cost y'all for Title Change ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

All included, title change and 5 year Antique registration was $187.75. Not too bad considering my 2004 Avalanche is $87 per year.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Changed the fuel filter and spark plugs. One was a little stuck and almost couldn't get it off. Torqued on it a little too much and my leg and back are flaring up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Roflmao Yup they do. you see my transformation. when I replaced it :)

Re: What did you do to your truck *yesterday*
 

Thursday morning I braved serious rush hour traffic and delivered my truck to the body shop where they'll hopefully do a good job of repairing it where the boob hit me .

$1,700.00 + GASP ~

They hedged their bets $ wise by charging 10 hours just to straighten the heavy step bumper where it's bent . I can't imagine it taking more than two hours no matter what .

I was thinking back to 2012 when a new member in Az. bought a Red stepper with the same bumper and wanted to throw it away.....

Anyway , if these guys do a good job and don't damage or steal anything etc. , I'll see if I can afford to have them do a full cab off de rusting and repainting .

They do lots of restoration & custom works so who knows ~ everything looked very nice when I was there so I'm hopeful . :chevy:

A nice ' new ' '69 base model C/10 is just what I need to work & beat up for the rest of my life .
