$145 New Paint on the 82'
Lots of threads out there on budget paint jobs.. I went through a pile of them and decided to go the route below (very cheap)
Note: This truck is a firewood/bush queen.. nothing show/special about it. I would not suggest this method for something you've invested a pile of time into bodywork. Truck Details: Original purchase price $450 Cash into it (new metal etc) $500 1982 K10, 14bff/d44 4.10s, 350/400/sm465 Supplies List (and $) One Gallon Glass White Tremclad/RustOleum (oil based): $32 Two Quarts Primer (oil based): $19 One Quart Universal Activator: $22 One Gallon (i think) Reducer/Hardener: $44 4 Cans White Rock Guard: $28 Not Included In Total Misc Crap (tape/paper etc): $33 I am no painter by any means so do not take my numbers for granted!... I mixed the paint/primer with the activator/hardener (8:2:1) I am sure these ratios will change due to circumstance. I was lucky enough to have access to a small booth, so spraying on the tremclad vs all the roller jobs out there was a better option for me. 4 coats primer, rock guarded, 4 coats paint... and she didn't turn out too bad.
