Paint job on the CHEAP!!
$25 to be exact. I got tired of my truck looking like Fido's backside, so I figured it was time for a change. Not a professional job by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it's much improved. My fiance did a lot of the work. (She's a lot better at painting than I am

Re: Paint job on the CHEAP!!
Looks Good!!!
Hot Rod did an article a few months back showing how to "roll" Rustoleum on an old Falcon. It was pretty interesting how they did it. It took several coats, some wet sanding, and some buffing. I think they did it for less than $100.00.

Re: Paint job on the CHEAP!!
Here you go CG. It was after we were done, but it's close enough. She also painted a lot of the front end parts when I did the disc conversion.

Shifty, the gas cap was pretty much trashed so I just painted over it, and the badges have screws run through them and are pretty much hosed as a result. I plan to replace them eventually.

Re: Paint job on the CHEAP!!

Badges can probably be had for $10/ea in the classifieds. or send a PM to user uncle or PICKMUP and see if they have something. $25 to make your ride look ten times better!!
