Re: Crazy idea about painting my truck

My brother bought a can of high-temp BBQ black from Home Depot for less than $10 and shot his chopper with it using a gun he bought for $50. It was featured in Iron Horse magazine and Hot Bike. It looked great and you would never know it was done in the driveway.

I am doing the same thing with my truck because the rattle can's just don't cut it. I figure if I can do it for less than $100, I'm ahead of the game.

Re: Crazy idea about painting my truck

No rattle can paint job...

Heres a good budget job:

Buy a cheap Harbor freight Hvlp gun ~$25.00

Goto a Bobcat dealer (ya know the skidsteers) They make an undustrial pre-reduced industrial enemal, in orange, white, or charcol.=Buletproof and shines like an oem paint job. ~$11.00 per quart

Goto a auto paint jobber and buy 1 quart of Nason enamal caytalist. ~$18.00

Mix the pre-reduced industrial enemal with the catylist 4:1.

The Nason enamal caytalist is a must for ease of applacation, gloss, and durabality..
Spray away!!!
2-tone if you want...orange w/ white top??????
This stuff is eayser to spray than a rattle can, and will look and last like a pro job
