70 burb, roll on project
Hey there, my name is Anthony and I have a 70 suburban. 350/turbo 350
Picked it up a few months ago as a project for the winter for a unique utility vehicle/ hot rod. Long tube headers, elderbrock intake/carb and some other goodies. Picked it up for 1200 and haven't looked back. I have a one car garage and decided spraying wasn't feasible, have decided to roll on a paint job instead. ![]() I will post updates as the project moves forward. I have yet to buff as I am in between sanding and applying more rustoleum. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 70 burb, roll on project
I will be finishing the front soon in order to buff and I will paint the top white with the grey body. The roll on paint is allot of work but very worth it.
Gf got me a new windshield, sister a new steering wheel. I picked up a new foam dash and grill. Man, there's only one way to eat an elephant. One bite at a time, I look forward to contributing to these boards. Anthony ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |

1200 looks like a steal there....nice find. I'd say save up for a real paint job ...but looks like you already started...keep us posted. All the best.

Re: 70 burb, roll on project
Looks like a good start!!! The best way to drop the front approx 2" is to cut a coil (with a cutoff wheel not with heat) do not heat them. The rear you need drop springs.

Re: 70 burb, roll on project
Explain what you mean about a roll on paint job. What is the process?

This post in paticular is what really gave me my motivation Hope it helps! Sorry here for the blurry pics/ I was a little tipsy The guy in link above is obviously a pro bodyman. Im just a mickey mouse amature, but am very satisfied with the results. The quotes for the paint on this truck started @ 3k and went as high as 7 LOL. This is my picture after a light wet sand/ buff. I have some orange peel I need to still get out. Really trying to get everything painted before the actual wet-sand/buffing. This was just to see what to expect as a final color/finish First pic was of the final coat/ un sanded-unbuffed. The sand/buff makes it impossible to belive it was a roll on paint job. ![]() ![]() Last edited by el_guapo; 02-03-2011 at 12:56 PM. |

Re: 70 burb, roll on project
DONT NOT USE THIS TYPE OF BUFFER
http://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch...her-43424.html "PC" Porter cable polisher, pretty much the benchmark for the detailing industry. Been around for a LOONG time. There are other types of machines to use out there, I went with the $50 option from harbor freight. In all honesty that is really all that a DIY guy that is going to need/ Spend your money on good product such as meguiars, and 2 good lakecounty pads. You want one for cutting into paint- and one for polishing. Expect about $120 for pads/polisher/products for cutting-polishing. I went to my local paint shop for the pads/product. Harbor freight for the buffer. http://www.harborfreight.com/7-inch-...her-66615.html This is what I have, let me know if there are any suggestions that I can share. BTW, none of of paint has seen a polishing product- only cutting compound so far. Anthony Last edited by el_guapo; 02-04-2011 at 01:21 PM. |

Re: 70 burb, roll on project
Is it true what I have heard? A little Crown Royal makes the paint stick better?
