Your truck is really coming along.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thank you, it was a massive amount of filthy dirty work, but it being my 3rd truck project I slowly learned it's worth it

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

not sure I posted pics of me painting the doors in my make shift outdoorsie paint canopy

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so that ACE satin black paint is rebranded Rust-Oleum, I like it cause it has a wide spray nozzle and it's $7 bucks for a 15 oz can instead of 12 oz

here I am spraying the passenger fender

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Does the Ace/Rustoleum paint run more easily than Krylon for you? That has been my experience. Also, Krylon seems to dry faster. I'm not sure which one is more durable in the end. They both seem to be fragile for the first few weeks.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Krylon changed their nozzle the new nozzle design is crap, this ACE/Rustoleum paint uses the same nozzle as the old Krylon did, it drives quick and it's pretty hard to get any runs

only time will tell about durability, but honestly this truck was such junk that even if I painted it with a roller and house paint it would be an improvement

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I think it will look good all blacked out. You're certainly helping to preserve the sheet metal by painting all of the nooks and crannies while it is disassembled.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

this Bondo body filler sucks

spreads horribly even after it is mixed well, tons of air pockets and grit devolps, also dries in 30 seconds way too fast and I tried adding less and less hardener

and why are all the instructions or warnings in Spanish ?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so all the cool kids seem to be using a product called Rage by a company called Evercoat

but wait, there's:

Rage
Rage Gold
Rage Gold Xtreme
Rage Ultra
Rage Ultra XTRA

you can't make this sheet up!!!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so reminded me of this

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I use rage extreme and I really like it. Goes one very nice, sands well and I've yet to have pinholes. Oh and it takes about 5 minutes to set up and about 15-20 before sanding in my experience.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

greg, at my shop "bondo" brand is used a curse word, lol. We use Rage Gold. A bit more pricey but, pays for it self with consistency and sandability. Way better product and available at our local suppliers, even auto zones here carry it.
keep up the good work, watching along

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

rage extreme is my favorite.. Nice build thread cant wait to see where it goes..

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

get the bondo outta here, lol, I am so using that !!!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so after all that big rage talk I go out and buy this stuff?

Guilty with an explanation your honor, none of the parts houses around my neck of the woods carry rage, plus if they would it would run $60 bones a quart, not a gallon but a quart, so I got this stuff instead, I mean it may not be world's best but it is fantastic, it says so right there on the can

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
