Laid some paint, added tires
Well I got to spend a couple of days with the truck this long weekend. I love this duplicolor paintshop stuff. Primer, paint, clear. I am no bodywork guy so it is far from perfect but for what I am trying to accomplish it should work just fine. I also picked up so dirty rims with 37" Super Swamper SSR's for $300. Painted the rims and I am very happy with the progress. I had gotten a little discouraged because it has been a while since I got to focus on the truck but this weekend really helped!!!
Started with: ![]() Got the side primered: ![]() Add Color and Clear: ![]() Dirty Wheels: ![]() Color and Clear: ![]() New Side Markers (my favorite converson), Wheels, Lugs: ![]() Then it got dark so I finished up the front without a lot of pics. The other side looks the same. Everything has been painted except for what still needs to be replaced: Passenger Fender, Hood, then I need to rust repair teh cab. ![]()

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
going to get flamed here but I just bought a automotive spray gun from Wal-Mart for $30 then I bought a regulator from Northern tool for $15. My shop has a compressor. It comes in quart cans for $22. There is no mixing or reducing just pour it in the gun and shoot. Primer first 5 minutes between coats, then wait 15 min, shoot color 5 minutes between coats, wait 15 min then clear. VERY VERY simple.
The only thing is I am not a body work guy and am not very good with bondo so if you get close you can see the imperfections under the paint but the paint itself looks great!!!

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
Here are a couple more.
![]() ![]() ![]() Now for full disclosure, I don't know what everybody else wants in their truck, as I stated before I am not a professional painter or body work guy, this is a driver truck that has some upgrades and will have some nice features but I am have no desire for it to be a show truck it will be a duck boat puller and hunting truck so the below pic will show a rust spot I sanded down and painted over. Also you can see that wet sanding would help as well. Is it pefect nope but it suits what I want, looks better than rattle can and I can do the whole truck for less than $300. I just don't want anyone to think you are gonna get a $4000 paint job out of this but looks a hell of a lot better than fadded blue with rust spots ![]() ![]()

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
I have been going over and over in my head about duplicolor. My body work is going to be pretty good and mine will be a weekend driver to shows and for fun not for trophies. But I want a good paint job is duplicolor the way to go?

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
Love the Swampers & like the red but think Army green or
Camo would've been cool too. But don't listen to me, it's your truck ![]() Would love to see pictures of it in the dirt when it's done. |

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
No it's not really a good way to go. If you want to get some good info about painting and paints, check out this board,
http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/body-exterior/ Do a search on duplicolor and you'll see it's not a great way to go. TCP Global makes some good laquer (which is what duplicolor is) that is a much better paint and $ for quanity about the same price, since duplicolor comes in quarts and you'll need about 1.5 gallons (6 quarts) to do the whole truck.

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
Great looking truck, don't see many with roll bars.
Just have to say it, "That is a real truck". Made to used as a truck, enjoy it.

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
Gun settings and/or temp would smooth that paint out. Looks like it was sprayed on too dry. A wetter coat will flow out smooth, up until the point it runs anyway.

Re: Laid some paint, added tires
Me and paint don't get along at all but I always say **if you're happy with it drive it because that's all that matters**.

Also if you are going to put a lot of time into body work and going to shows I would suggest you know a lot about painting if you are going to use this stuff. I am using it simply based on the fact I am not going to pay a professional to do it and I am not going to use rattle cans. I am going for the looks good from a distance. This is going to be a fun truck and a driver the only reason I even went with red is because it is kind a tribute to my godfather who got me into this whole gearhead thing with a 79 red ford called "big red".
