Ok another question for u guys with the roll on jobs, are we talking little cotton covered paper towel tube roll on. Like the stuff u would paint a house with. Plus how much should u get to cover the truck?

I used the small foam types of rollers
dollar store ones worked fine
i'd get a gallon,one of those times more is cheaper.....

Where do you guys get your paint and body skill? Are you all pro's?

This was my first time attempting something like this...and i went in with little to no confidence. Patience was low too or it might of came out way better. Still came out good considering im a novice.

well in 3 months you can paint it a different colour if you get tired of it!
couple of layers don't hurt

ivorton74 · 09-09-2013, 09:55 PM

True...truck was already blue to begin with so imma stick with blue...its easier for me...plus if the paint fades or anything its already blue underneath
