Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
point is, im instrested in finding a good paint/body person to do the paint/body for some of the trucks i do....you claim to be a paint/body guy for over 20 years, you offer discourageing help, put down others, and have yet to back-up your skills.....im not a fan of painting your truck with a rattle can or useing maaco either, but i kept my mouth shut...so the point is, your words would have more credit, and sound less condescending, if you offer help with less attitude....also i wanna see how good your work is

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
The product is the main issue here. There was never a comment that he did a bad job spray painting his rig. Vintage (and all of us other pros) have this discussion a lot in other boards. It is just tough to know the bad that has been done to the and trying to give advice and get accused of "ripping into people". Sorry guys, but he is right. The Macco job would save money and look better. And it would last longer.

What discouraging help? I will appologize for putting him down As far as backing up my skills, read all my posts, I think I've backed up PLENTY As far as my words would have more credit... I've appologized for the attitude, and NOTHING I said was FALSE. I'm NOT a fan of MAACO.But it's obvious he wants to do it inexpensively. You will not get a cheaper job than letting MAACO do it, especially if you dont have a place to do it your self or the skills with AUTOMOTIVE paint, . Its a fact. Prep the truck, let them spray. Then when it cures wet sand and polish. And MAACO is STILL 1000 times better than rattle can, or ANYTHING put out by rustoleum, Duplicolor, KRYLON.... |

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
Some folks don't have enough cash even for a MAACO job.

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all. If you "pros" complain about this all the time on "the other boards", go do it over there. If all he had was $20-$30 bucks in his pocket and he wanted to do something to change it up a bit then let him be. I think it looks fine and if anyone else has negative feedback keep it to yourself. I'm tired of hearing people with lots of money or better resources bad mouthing other people who dont. I thought this board was here to show our trucks and project ideas with others without having to worry about some jackass beating you down about it.

Hey 1972SuperCheyenne ... you too need to drop it.
You're comments are only adding fuel to the fire and that is considere pot stirring. If this keeps up the thread will be locked. |

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
I was not trying to imply that my paint job is all that great. but when i started my original primer was fading badly, and it looked like ****. it cost me roughly 30-40 bucks to do this, and honestly it looks a lot better.
you can knock on me all you want, but im still semi proud of my accomplishment. i wasnt going for show quality, i wasnt even going for maaco quality, i just was tired of looking at my light grey faded primer. it took me a day and a half total with the help of my cousin. i didnt use the can tips that came with it, i switched it for one thta came off of a Montana spray can. ![]() (that was the unfinished side,m that i had not yet sanded or sprayed with primer) ![]() (now this is the side i finished first with the primer. i originally was going to just keep it all black, but me and my cousin decided to just throw some color on there, and it actually matches the dash. and oh yeah sorry for "offending" some of you with my horrible painting skills. ha |

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
oh and about "the maaco paintjob would last longer" i wasnt expecting this to last more than a few months. this summer i should have the means to give her a real paint job, and i think im going to go with a deep metallic purple, so it looks black at night, but in the light you can tell its purple.

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
I agree with Shane. I also agree with Vintagesteel in the fact that, if you are going to spend big $$$ on wheels and tires and other accessories and then spray can your ride, you might get a member or two asking why you are choosing that route when you went high dollar on the other stuff.
If you post a thread showing how you did something, do you expect ONLY those people who agree with your way of doing something to respond? I painted my truck orange, but not everyone likes orange. I did my interior in gray tweed, but not everyone likes tweed. If a member says, "Dude, you should have painted it blue, or you should have used Dupont instead of Valspar...", I would just kindly explain why I chose what I did so that maybe others can learn why I did something a certain way. This site is about learning. When other members post different ideas and thoughts, when they don't agree with what you personally believe, maybe someone else reading might look at it and go, "hmmm, I never thought of doing it that way before." Just my 2 cents, not worth allot. Don

The "pros" that have been so-called are just trying to give you a nickels worth of free advice. I know that myself formost, I have learned alot from trial and error. I have made plenty of mistakes in paint and body work and when I suggest something, it is in an effort to help someone else aviod my mistakes. Vintagesteel is only trying to do the same thing. Personally, I think that any amount of money you can spend on spray can stuff can be put away for decent equipment/decent paint so that perhaps you might learn a trade out of it. Might be something you really like and want to continue doing... If someone were to start a thread and say that they assembled their truck using only pliers and a screwdriver, and you saw the pics and saw that all the bolts were chewed up and rounded, would you be picking on him if you suggested a cheap socket and ratchet set? I think all of this should be put back into perspective. You can put oil instead of water in your radiator...if you saw someone doing that, wouldn't you say something? Or what if you knew of a better tool for the job than the one they are using. Would you say something? There is no substitute for the right tool for the job. Ask any mechanic... how is painting cars any different? Just something to think about.... D

that right there i find kind of.. dumb. that is just common sense though. the paint this is all about opinion. im not sticking up for it saying its the best thing for my truck. but for a paintjob that will only be on for a few months i dont think its that bad. i have been rolling around with fading primer for a year and have just gotten sick of it. hate it or love it, its my truck and im not really trippin to hard of people hating on it. if im happy with it for now, then thats all that matters since im the only one going to look at it for the next few months |

To the "pros", painting your truck with rustoleum is like putting oil in your radiator. That's all I am saying, all I was suggesting was to look at it from thier perspective and why they said something. D

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
Don't worry about what everyone else thinks.
Looks good from here! My truck looked like this for 8 or 9 years. In 2006 I had the time/money to paint it myself!

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
We're fine. Sometimes it's very hard on here to explain in words what we are trying to get across. Good luck with your project and keep us posted with progress pics!

Re: Not Bad for Spray Paint!
wintagesteel - i do not plan on painting the whole truck that color, i just wanted to add a little bit of color. i am going to keep the truck primer all around but just wanted the cab to pop. '
i will see how hard it is getting that paint off when it comes time to get it painted. i will end up doing all the prep work by myself. when it comes time to part ways will the color i will probably be sending you a message. |
