Post some pics when you get all the body parts back on, I am curious to see how good that paint really is, you plan on buffing or polishing it? And how many coats of paint did you put on and did you use a good paint gun or a cheap one?
Just asking because I have the stuff to paint but just have a cheap paint gun and wouldn't want to go painting my truck and have it looks like crap, if I could get the paint matched I would just paint the trouble areas on mine.

im only gonna buff a few spots on it probabally i used a pretty cheap gun its a campbell hausfeld i got at lowes not sure of the model number but it came in a 2 pack with a detail gun for 90 bucks its actually pretty nice and it was easy for me to use and adjust this was my first time painting and i am pretty happy with it i should have the rear lights and grille and stuff on today the only thing is im not gonna put a grille molding on there now because mine is jacked up and i gotta order a new one

Guess it's a single stage system. What kind of paint did you use? Looks good for a first time job. Going to shoot mine one day too.

You shoot it outside?
Get much dirt or bugs ec? I am a big fan of inexpensive paint jobs. Had my stepside done at Maaco. Turned out nice, get lots of compliments on the truck. Course you have to clean up some over spray yourself but for the money you save who cares! Used to be a dealer and had many cars done by inexpensive production shops. Everyone of them sold and I was impressed many more times than disapointed. Of course if you have a trailer queen then take it to a pro shop and prepare to take it up the.... |
