Well after some 300 hundred man hours, I can say; I am almost done.

All I have to do is:

wet sand everything

get parts from chrome shop

install chrome parts

pick-up tailgate from pinstripper

install tailgate

have pinstripper strip cab and fenders

do something else that I can't remember right now

etc

etc

etc

When you are really into it....are you ever really done?

I have been painting as a hobby for 15 years. I dont like doing it, But I am picky and dont want to spend the big $$$ to take it someone else. Here are some pics of my 69 swb I just finished.

i was looking into those but their website didn't list bigger sizes like 20"s.
I painted my Harley (a page back) in my shop in a "booth" like yours, 'cept smaller. I paint cause i still enjoy it, its the body work i hate. I'm gonna do my 70 with semi-gloss black with some metalflake candy flames. It may not be for everyone, but its gonna be unique and stand out like a sore thumb. Bonus is i may sell a few more flame jobs....

Thought that gun looked familiar....it's a bada** gun , I wouldn't even think about using anything less when messin with candies, (optimum pattern and atomization) From what I can see it looks awesome !!!...(no tiger stripes)....join our little club and post up some pics.

Rush......

Nice work!!!

What type of gun and compressor are you using in the pic? I want to paint my truck with a hot rod flatz blue steel and I am wondering what would be a good, affordable, combo of spray gun and the what type of compressor(how many gallons etc) do I need to do it myself?

Any info would be greatly appreciated..

Almost done with this build!!

Did this paint and flame job back in 1990 or so (one of my first flame jobs. I've done about 1900 flame jobs since then)

Can you tell me what the light green color is on that pickup?

hockeyjerk1 · 10-10-2011, 11:21 PM

I did this in my garage with 2 HF guns, 1 for primer/color, the other for clear. I used a high build primer under cheap PPG Omni. Total cost was under $500. I bought pro-grade sandpaper that out performs any thing at HD. I've still got to get the trim installed.

BLUIDVL · 10-12-2011, 12:53 AM

Couple of pics of a 69 GMC cab i squirted. Colour is Quazar blue.

CowboyProtectionUnit · 10-12-2011, 04:30 AM

inspirational! I'll definitely be visitin this thread for tips and pick me ups when I get to this point in both of my projects

dfwright · 10-12-2011, 08:57 AM

Wow! I would not have thought a garage paint job could be done an turn out so nicely. Very talented painters -- or perhaps very talented sanders/buffers. I am encouraged to give this a try myself when I get to that point.

**CMACDONALD1** · 10-17-2011, 04:35 PM

I've posted on this thread once already but I thought I would post up the finished product.

jchav62 · 10-17-2011, 05:28 PM

My brother and I (mostly him) did the paint and body on my '62. Painted in the backyard.

jchav62 · 10-17-2011, 05:31 PM

Here's me doing the "rustoleum" jobber on my '73...
