Re: new paint job is done

Truck looks good. I personally like the grille and rally wheels silver apposed to body color or black but that's just me.

Looks good all black though, bodywise.

Re: new paint job is done

this brings back memories of summers at my Grand parents in the backyard with my uncle. He used to paint his car almost every summer with a rattle can. Crazy thing is I never knew until I saw him do it.

Haha, I have to do the same every summer, as much as I repair the rust spots on the car damn thing always comes back during the winter. Seems like this summer there will be a whole lot less spraying tho, which is good cause I hate masking off half the car at once.

Re: new paint job is done

If you guys have rust holes they will come back every year unless you cut the rust out and weld in fresh metal.

If it's surface you should try to sand it off, then hit it with some self etching primer, or epoxy primer. That'll stop the rust or prolong the come back period. You can buy spray cans of self etch primer for about $7 from a body shop supply store. I use it and it works great I highly reccomend you guys try it. You let it dry for a couple hours or overnight, wet sand it with like 400-1000 grit wetpaper, then put your paint on top of it once it dries.

Or try rustoleum or por-15 or something.
