25$ paintjob?
There was a guy earlier that posted that he wet sanded and painted his truck for just 25$ wondering what the process was in that? what kind of paint etc.

Easy.. Rustoleum paint job...
I painted my 66 stang with it and it looks pretty good. The color is satin black and cost me $7 for the quart...and I only used a quart. Lots of info out there about rolling these paint jobs...much easier and faster just to spray it

Re: 25$ paintjob?
25 bucks is pretty cheap, maybe if you can find used paint for free, I mean the sand paper is going to cost you 10 bucks I would think?

Re: 25$ paintjob?
I painted an old pickup one time with rustolium spray cans . It came out so good my friends thought It was enamel sprayed from a gun . You can't make it work if the temp is high because the light spray dries to fast and you will not get a wet overlap. you also have to be fast or you will get some dull spots .

Re: 25$ paintjob?
it was me that posted the original topic. the truck was already primed black which takes alot less paint if its fbeing sprayed flat black. 1 pack of 400 wet sand paper which goes a long way if you use it correctly. Plenty of water and 4 cans of krylon flat. Yep I spent 25 bucks.

Re: 25$ paintjob?
So here is what is driving me nuts. I want to get the body painted in pieces so it all gets covered. Problem is that im running out of money. So while it is apart i will get some good rattle can primer for 5-6 coats. then the Blue i want and 3-4 coats along with wet sanding and a clear coat if they are in cans. think it will work?

Re: 25$ paintjob?
This is awesome!
 I know some of you guys are hard-core "do it right the first time" types but for those of us early in our hot rod/resto lives, this is an awesome way to have a decent paint job on a budget. Thanks for sharing this. I think I'm gonna roll my truck this spring.

 It's been all I can do to stay out. I thought the house painters were gone. Gotta go! Home Depot is having a sale on rollers. Might even pick up some of those faux finish rollers and become a CUZTUM painter!

Why pay for sand paper. just pull off a couple lengths of tape and drop it in a sand box. If you have to remove a lot of material drop the tape in the gravel in the driveway. To me, and this will probably piss some people off, If you cant afford at least a NASON urethane factory pack (@$130) you probably have more to worry about than how your car LOOKS! |
