Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
I got the fenders, doors, hood, bed and tailgate in high build 2k primer this morning. Hope to get the cab sprayed later this afternoon. I used a different cheap HF spray gun this time so I could open up the tip and get more primer out of the gun and on the panel. I've been watching D.I.Y. AUTO SCHOOL with "My friend Pete" on the YouTube. He recommended this particular pressure pot style gun for primers. If you haven't seen his channel check it out. The guy cracks me up, to say he's super rough around the edges would be mild. The gun worked well after I played with it some. Not bad for 24 bucks. Here's where I'm at currently.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Heck yes, that's some progress right there! That's bold spraying paint outside in the spring. I'm not sure how it is by you, but over here in NC everything is covered in pollen!

I've been off of the truck project for about a week taking care of other crap. Responsibilities are overrated.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
I am all for patina and semigloss or even a matte finish, but I would hesitate to add any texture to the paint. I do like a color matched liner in the bed, but I don't know that I'd like it on the rest of the truck. Of course, that is not to say it wouldn't look good if done right. And I get what you are saying, it would bother me to have done that much work on the paint/body and still have little imperfections that stood out to me in an otherwise shiny paint job. That's why all 4 of my previous projects have been left OG paint

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Yeah, that was just another random fleeting thought. I'm not gonna do this much sanding and then cover up all that work. I just have to make sure and follow the directions and follow the best practices I've read about and it'll look good'nuf for me.
I want to get more opinions on some paint and body questions. My truck has been taken down to clean metal or original sanded paint then epoxy coated in 2 different colors. (Black and white) Then I did filler work after hammer and dolling any dents I could access. After sanding the filler down I sprayed Summit Racing 2K urethane primer (gray) This is where I am now. I'm all out of the gray 2K urethane primer, but I do have a gallon of this Feather Fill G2 Polyester primer in "buff" color, also a high buildable primer. The Technical Data Sheet for the Feather Fill G2 says it's ok to apply over urethane primers. I'm not sure why I though it was a good idea to pick so many different colors, and I don't believe it will make a difference in the paint job. I'm thinking as long as I use a good sealer before I spray the final blue single stage paint, it ought to cover either the gray or the buff just the same. Does this sound right? My question is this. Would you buy another can of the gray urethane primer and finish the bodywork in the same color and material; or would you use what you already have on hand even though your project is gonna look like a wild hyena, with grays and tans all over the thing. ![]() Here are some pics to ponder.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
As long as those different products are chemically compatible, why not. Supplies are expensive.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Yeah, I would be most worried about chemical compatibility. If that checks out, then I think it will be fine. These trucks were painted originally with black primered fenders and red oxide cabs, so I think the color uniformity will be fine with your primer colors.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
It's generally not best practice to spray polyester over 2K urethane. Typically polyester is sprayed over epoxy or filler, then you sand it, maybe reapply and sand again depending on how it blocks out and then you apply 2K. 2K doesn't build nearly as thick and is meant for "fine grading". I used a spray polyester once and wasn't a fan - it's like spraying bondo so you have to mix it quick, spray it quick, and clean the gun quick. Much more flexibility with 2K or even epoxy. 2K dries quicker but isn't always recommended over bare steel (depends on the manuf) whereas epoxy can be sprayed over anything but takes longer to dry.
In the end, just read the TDS for the products you're using but I would be leery of polyester over 2K. It's like applying filler over 2K - you're supposed to be done with filler work by the time you get to 2K to do the "fine grading".

I've seen the nice paint work you fellas have done before which proves you know what you're talking about. I've ordered another gallon of urethane 2k to continue on. My son has a Toyota Tundra he intends to paint in the relatively near future so I'll save the Feather Fill G2 for that truck's body work repairs.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Nothing real big going on here, but thought I'd show these sweet caps on white steelies. I pulled the 20" Coys off and put them up for a while. Thanks again to Kingsolver72, your generosity is remarkable man. I picked up a can of Krylon true blue in order to paint the bowties in the center. I'm trying to find projects that I can work on in the house since the heat and humidity are unbearable here lately. We had a heat index of 118* a couple days ago and they say the next week or so will be similar temps.

Oh man, I like the look of that wheel! Is this a direction change in the overall look of your truck or just for fun?

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Just touching base here. It seems I can only stay focused on any particular project for a maximum of 6 months. I haven't touched anything on the C10 in a long time so with any luck I'll come back around to it soon. Lately I've been eat up with flying again. I bought a Quicksilver ultralight back in November. The closest airport is privately owned and has a waiting list for hangar space, so I fully committed to it and built a hangar to keep it in. I took out my MX track (I hardly ride anymore) in order to have an airstrip at the house.

"I took out my MX track (I hardly ride anymore) in order to have an airstrip at the house LOL!! that is too funny when taken out of context...keep up the nice work on the build!

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Good to see you check in even if you haven't worked on the truck in a while. My motivation comes and goes in phases as well. I look forward to seeing updates when you get back to it!
