Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Nope, still got a big can of yellow! Been a weird busy stressful week here and at work. Went to paint interior on Monday and found a dent in the rear cab wall, so I got it worked and skimmed and primed. Had hockey and kid stuff rest of the week, then Jimmy Buffett tomorrow night. Might sneak the rest of the prep in tomorrow and shoot Sunday if I'm lucky. No pics, nuthin to see! Thanks for the digs, though, it keeps me Rollin !

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well we went, ate at my favorite Japanese joint (too much) with my favorite (only, but still favorite) brother and sis-in law, He got lucky, computer spit out 11 seats from center front row. His pics are really good. Show was GREAT, had a good time. Hope to be back at it today.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Ta-Daaaaa! (disclaimer: poster is jack of all trades and master of none!) Interior is painted! Couldn't do cut-ins on doors, ran out of everything. And it flipped cold on me, which causes problems. Had a few runs, but it's all under other stuff. Sand out the dirt and good to go! Here's the pics, as promised!
After the first round of base- Dash- Overall- Feels like a big weight off. Now, to cut-ins and prep to get this pig off the road and strip 'er down! Thanks for all the reinforcement, guys, it helps.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Why, thanks, Tink, but I think you'll like this better. So, I got the paint on but it was full of trash, and small runs, and orange peel. Ah, but there's an ace in the hole. I actually do know how to wetsand and polish fresh paint. So, it's on, let's fix it!
Razor blades to get the trash/runs gone- More blading- Sanded blade marks out w/1000 grit, then 1200, then- Polished with cutting creme on wool, Meguiar's 9 and 3. Ooooooh, shiny! (much better) Thanks for playin' along, folks!

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well you did make it look great, back in the day I had a friend that hard a real hard tine getting everything right for a lacquer paint job. But he was the best cut and buff guy you would ever meet. I think it is the end result we all are after, lots of ways to get there. Keep up the good work

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well thanks, my running comment has always been if i can just get it on there ok, I can fix it after that! Not the world's best painter, but a fair to middlin' polisher. Anyway, here's some pics from yesterday's action!
Mixin' the fixin's- Based! It's yellow! Visiting with the neighbors, so as not to mess with it between coats! Cleared! Ooh! Pretty! Owner is pretty stoked at this point.
