I would like to help out myself, please let me know the color code you decide on painting the truck and I'll furnish all the PPG paint and clear. Just let me know.......Thanks

I have been advised that when painting the truck we should stay within one brand. Does PPG make a high build primer and hardener, or can you get Sherwin Williams' 'Martin Senour'? We have a local source for this brand of primer, who may donate it, but want to keep within one brand.

PPG makes just about anything you need for painting a car. IMO you cant go wrong with PPG.


SPECTRACRON® 315 High Build Primer Surfacer from PPG is the one favored by the guy I have doing my body work. Granted I havent painted the truck yet, but the repair he did looks fantastic.




I know this one is not specifically for automobiles but it does work great for that. But there are others specifically for auto paint. This one is for industrial uses and is just one that he works well with. Havent had any problems with automotive applications to date.


here is a before and after of the repair using the above primer

I would use all PPG primer since that is the brand of paint and clear that 198plus offered to donate. PPG makes several different primers.
