paint questions...
you folks have helped me out in the past...timing issues, transfer cases etc...but now I am looking to repaint my rig...original color is my desire...but the costs of paint are so high...there has to be some good alternatives with the internet...
I want to go back original green...I have been told one gallon should be adequate...I have a good compressor and water filter...plus a few guns...spring is coming...and my baby wants to look good...and I hate this keeping primer alive... who knows a good supplier...thanks...ted

Re: paint questions...
I realize that you want a clean look, and you are kind of seton the original color, but have you considered one of the complete mask systems and just cover your truck with a custom mask? The cost is really a lot lower than some of the paint options.

Re: paint questions...
I would paint your truck its cheaper then a wrap will be.A whole truck wrap is about 2 to 3 grand plus it should go over good paint no primer or filler spots.Take a look at http://www.rolotech.net/index.php/pr...full-car-wraps

Re: paint questions...
TPC Global seems to be reasonable for paint. They offer enamel and urethane as well as base/clear. I am going with a "factory pack" color for my Blazer that is close to original. The acrylic enamel is similar to what was used back then so thats what I am gonna try. Just google TPC Global.
