Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
Looks good! If you wanna save even more buy ace hardware brand oil based paint.this is my recipe for the industrial equipment I build,trailers,farm equip ,etc. we mix a 50/50 of paint and thinner,a small amount of hardener and add a few drops of "Japan dryer". Then spray it out of a 20.00 harbor freight gun.usually two coats.its smooth as silk nice and hard,.im seriously thinking about the semigloss that ace sells on my truck.i rolled the inside of the bed to give it the textured look.i love it easy to touch up. As far as the base /clear vs. single stage automotive paint.most beginners will do the base /clear due to being able to fix any poor technique by wet sanding buffing and or respraying.single stage takes more skill to get a good finish with.they both offer the same protection,actually single stage is less likely to peel than clear over color base due to poor adhesion.its all about the prep and product quality.my kid could spray base clear and I could cut and buff it and you'd swear it was a 5 k paint job.that wont fly with single stage.looks awesome !
