Jaysonb · 06-01-2011, 04:29 PM

I have been giving painting a shot over the last few days. I have the inside of the cab done, and the door jambs done. It got alittle orange peel in the cab, but it's a learning experence.

I primed it with that gun, until I found someone with a way better one....but yes I used that compressor.

Custom color that came off a piece of fabric from wal-mart. Changes colors because of the pearl in the paint.

I have done a bunch of paint jobs in my garage and shop. The last one I used a home made booth designed and built by my engineer friend from work. Check it out HERE

long69 · 06-01-2011, 10:15 PM

Oh yeah! this is a rustolium roller job, mostly white satin with a mix of satin black to get kind of a grey. its not done, the other side is green. i'm doing this as a experiment to see if i f- it up or not, or if i may like the final look. i think that a roller job can look as good as i want it but it might take too much time to get it nice. me thinks i'm a gunna finish using a cheepo spary gun. oh i might switch paints as this rusto stinks for days still.

Thats good to know. Ive heard some say that a larger capacity tank is necessary.

It helps, so you don't have to wait for the tank to refill and risk getting dry spots and such while you are waiting.

Im going to paint mine while its disassembled, so this could work for me. Could save a few hundred for other areas of the project...

69sixpackbee · 06-02-2011, 01:19 PM

This one I did 24 years ago

WOW brother....that is awesome. Did you leave the PVC so you can completely disassemble it or just disassemble part of it? How thick is the sheet plastic (?mil)?

Dunenutt · 06-03-2011, 07:50 PM

All done by me, in a 10x20 portable garage in the back yard...

Thats how Im gonna paint mine(with parts disassembled). Whats your compressor tank size? Looks great, love the orange!

drewskiren · 06-03-2011, 09:36 PM

I am right in the middle of painting my 72 Crew Cab. If you like, you can check my build thread Young Frankenstein in the build thread section.

PHAT TONY · 06-03-2011, 09:46 PM

Not a big deal I guess; I do this for a living. 4X4 was mine, 68 for a customer, my Blazer and some other stuff. This stuff's all Sikkens base/clear but I use RM waterborne now. I find 400 grit dry is fine for all paints as long as you're spraying a sealer coat first, I like this as it gives a nice uniform surface to paint on. I hate polishing; so I don't.

kevmic28 · 06-03-2011, 10:09 PM

What color is that orange on the blazer. I want to do my truck two tone black with that orange.

PHAT TONY · 06-03-2011, 10:32 PM

That's Lamborghini Orange Nacre, it's a "tri-coat" (candy orange pearl); glows like a popsicle in the sun!

68GMCCustom · 06-03-2011, 10:46 PM

sweet looking paint jobs....gives me the inspiration to try and do mine... some day!

Way ahead of ya, Drew. Been watching you in the operating room for weeks. Thats a bad ass crew!

Shaky · 06-04-2011, 01:13 PM

My '67 is being done in black, so I'm only doing the preliminary prep work for that.

Here's my '66 which was my first go at a paint job. Lessons learned: putty shrinks, and don't pick your color from the paint chart!
