Just Kidding! Decided to see what flat black looked like on it. So i went and bought sixteen cans of spray paint and threw it on. Just the first coat but i think it looks better than the fifteen different shades of green that faded over the years.

Normally flat paint is hard to get to run.

You can have my chrome front bumper if you want it. I'm going to dual rollpans.

3/4tonterror · 03-22-2007, 11:17 AM

15 rattle cans wow! On my streetstock circle track car i bought a gal of industreal paint$40 and threw it in a wagner power sprayer. 10 min later new paint job,still had some left over for touch up after the races.Flat black still rocks thow.

edmonton72 · 03-22-2007, 03:11 PM

Thats what my truck looked like when I bought it except I had no bumpers at all. I'm going to respray it flat black after I'm done the body work as a temporary job until I can afford a good paint job.
