Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Just finishing up a few things. The sun was pouring in the garage this evening on the hood I installed today. The reflection showing a fair result. This was a hood I found for 100 bucks. Took me a week of filling and sanding but was way better than the one I ran into the work bench last year.
Single stage, no clear. Has a very original look to the gloss. Not too shiny. This one had a few dings, but straightened and filled to my liking. Rest of truck looks good to. I did a full strip repair and repaint. |

Looks nice! I've painted several vehicles on a driveway.

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Are you guys saying you actually painted outdoors?? If so, you must have no insects like gnats and mosquitoes. Try that here and you'd have a real mess. Also, the Calif air resources board would send a cruise missile to your house.

Outstanding! I too will be shooting single stage paint on my truck for a more original look.

One point to make. The project was an experiment using rustoleum cans of primer. It allowed for easy clean up doing small areas as time allowed. Never intended to be show quality, I wanted something on the lines of a 4 or 5 year old truck that was taken care of. I did leave the door jambs to bring in a look of well used. I also left the bed untouched as I used the truck to haul landscape and grove material around the house. |

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
Isn't lacquer paint banned in California?

Re: Driveway Paint...What's ya Think
I haven't shot any since about 2014, but one can buy cheap lacquer in quart cans from some parts stores around here.
