Re: My 1965 build thread
when I sprayed my s10 bed I didn't degreese it, I never painted before and didn't know what I was doing, I just scrached it up, and went to town. The frame I sandblasted, and used a wax degreeser. I still haven't fixed the s10 bed yet, but it's my beater. I may have to bring my cab to ya to get it fixed, lots of rust outs.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Your right, it does sound bad. That's what happens when your in a hurry. I spoke before I thought about it.
I used my backup primer PPG shopline JP285. I left my slicksand at work. I really didn't need it on what I just sprayed. I just needed a layer of primer cause DP90 is like sanding concrete. My back panel and the inside of cab roof was DP90. While I was at it I went ahead and reprimed a few areas.

I get 4-5 hours a night, maybe 6 if I'm lucky. We are very slow at work. I've only got 1 car to work on and it's in the paint shop. PDR is taking all of our hail repair. I guess I need to learn a new trade. I've tried pushing dents, I can get it close, but still needs some filler. The classes and tools are expensive. I could learn it with some tips and tricks, but can't afford to buy anything right now. It's getting very scary. I've never seen it this slow in my 13 or so years of doing body work. Well I'll spend my spare time spraying cabinets and sanding my cab. I told my boss to call me if anything comes in. I don't get paid to stand around at work. Might as well be at home getting something done.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan you are still up? Just wondering why the silver paint first? Did you have to sand it again?
Thanks Ernest |

Re: My 1965 build thread
I was so slow this winter I had to go and buy an old truck to keep from going crazy. I don't really mind the lack of work it's the lack of money that sucks. I just about got the spot on my cab roof fixed. It looked just like your roof but worse. The one that sat on my roof must have been corn fed.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I have a customer that owns a body shop in Ontario, Ca, and he says his shop hasn't been this slow in 35 years. He wants out. Lucky he owns the whole block, and is collecting rent from the other business' that are left. He wants to retire and work with me doing fun stuff. Right now I'm working on his 63 Convert Lark. Everything but body & paint. So far I'm lucky, and keeping busy for now.
