Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

I see a lot of nice flat black paint jobs and I am thinking of doing the same to my 84 cc dually. How do these paint jobs hold up? How do take care of them?

Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

My paint came from here..............

http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/ksflatz.aspx

It's basically a single stage paint with a flattening agent mixed in. The truck was painted over a year ago, no issues what so ever.

Rattle can? Don't do it. Every speck of the rattle can paint will need to be removed down the road when you decide to go with real paint. Lots of work and you'll wish you'd never seen a rattle can. LOL.

Ask me how I know.

Do you have any interior pics? Right now mine is burgundy or red, some thing like that but it has to go for all black.

When you switched to the older style mirrors, did they bolt right up using the top holes? Where you left with a third hole in the door to fill. Id pull the mirror off and look but its a long walk out to the truck since my driveway is a 18 hour flight from here. Take my advice, dont ever come to Afghanistan.

Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

I am definitely sold on this. It shows a gallon for $169 with everything i need. I just have to find out how to set the air compressor and paint gun to produce a nice finish without wasting time and product. Thank you for all your information. My son has a '77 stepside and I have a '71 C10 lwb and both need paint. This will definitely help!!!!!

Suggestion.........The paint I linked to really needs to be sprayed in a clean paint booth. Otherwise you'll need to be happy with any trash or unwanted material showing up in the finish. This product can't be "cut and buffed", you'll end up with a dull gloss finish in small areas.

Mine was shot in a top of the line booth and baked. The finish came out clean and shows no "orange peel".

Good Luck and I think you'll be happy with the satin look.

Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

Forgot to add............

After I shot my jambs, inner fenders, under the hood, and the truck, I ended up using 2 gallon kits and a quart kit. I have roughly a quart and a half left over.

Mine did, but every vehicle can be different. Every product/brand covers different. I didn't want to run out and have to wait for another shipment to arrive.

If i do not have any access to a clean booth....are there any alternatives? I have a warehouse that i can hang clean drop cloths to make a "secured" paint area. Maybe wet the floor, and put a couple fans to suck out the air.

Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

The link I provided has a couple links on the top of the page for "Support" and "Forum", I'd start there and see what type of response you get.

There are a lot of really nice paint jobs out in the world that were shot in a single car garage or outside. I guarantee you many hours were spent sanding and buffing to get the desired finish. My experience with "Flattened" paint is that you can't sand and buff to enhance the finish.

Re: Pictures of flat/satin paint jobs

Here's mine, SPI epoxy primer sprayed with a cheapy harbor freight gun in my garage. It's not perfect, but good enough for my daily driver!
