Hello Jim. Your last couple pages of your repair and repaint on your truck has been great and I'm looking forward to the final results. I'm a beginner at painting my truck and have had some ok to some not really good at all endings. I'm at the very beginning (basement level) of experience so all I can do is improve. I can't paint my truck all at once so its been one piece at a time. I'll get there someday.
I have a question you could answer for me. Can you tell me about the paint itself. I'm guessing its a single stage or .......?
Seeing what you and Mark have done has given me a bit of guidance to follow. Thank you. Really like your work.

Earl

**oldman3** · 09-11-2018, 07:14 PM

Thanks Earl, appreciate the compliment. Yes I use a single stage acylic urethane paint by PPG. I like it, for making it easier to repair, etc. Mark likes the base/clear coat. Practice is the best thing to make painting easier. Good luck with your painting, if Mark or I can be of additional help, just ask. We're just average garage painters, no pro's here...Jim

Clarance J · 09-11-2018, 10:02 PM

Thanks again.

Earl

Well, it's been a couple weeks since my last update, and life slowed me down again. On monday 9/10 I got the truck into the shop, and got started on getting the cowl area ready for paint. Mark and I removed the top, interior, the hood to cowl seal. Wipers and their bezels and gaskets.

**oldman3** · 09-13-2018, 08:23 PM

I hope I don't come across the wrong way, and everyone isn't as picky me. But on so many repaints you see paint on the rubber and trim. So I removed my windshield rubber trim to eliminate that problem.

1st and 2nd pics shows the urethane adhesive left, after I removed the trim.

3rd and 4th pics shows the tool I borrowed from the glass shop to remove old adhesive. Pic's aren't that good, and the tool was a little wide for my gap, but it helped alot.

**oldman3** · 09-13-2018, 08:30 PM

First two pics show the clean up of old adhesive. Pics don't show it to well, but it is cleaned up nice.
3rd pic shows how the old trim fit the the gap (or groove). New trim will be installed after painting.

4th pic shows windshield being tapped up to paint, to keep the groove clean.

Friday 9/14 is a full day so no work, hope to have more this week-end...Jim

**mongocanfly** · 09-13-2018, 09:19 PM

I don't think your being picky...I can't stand to see a nice paint job and then see paint on the rubber...
It's gonna be just as good as before when your done....

**Advanced Design** · 09-13-2018, 10:13 PM

Fine detail work Jim! Looking very good.

Indian113 · 09-14-2018, 07:53 PM

Jim, I have often wished I had your attention to detail and the ability to do things on your level! I don't feel you are Picky you just work at a Level one or two steps above the rest of us. While I might say that's good enough for me you stop and say I could do it better if I redid again. Thank God for guy's like you because they push us to do it ONE more time until it's Right. Later, Ray

Thanks Ray, I appreciate it very much. Believe me, there are times I say that's good enough, I just don't tell you guys about it.

Mark and I have an old 80's pickup bed and frame (trailer) we fill with scrap...Jim

**oldman3** · 09-15-2018, 11:36 PM

Was able to get into the shop today for a few hours.

Pics 1&2 show the windshield with paper, and the plastic to cover the firewall and engine.

Pics 3&4 show paper on the cowl to cover the plastic.

**Advanced Design** · 09-16-2018, 04:55 PM

And non-car people thought all you had to do was put on a new fender.

You and Mark set the bar pretty high. Nice work.

Thanks Doug, yeah your right, I've had several people that know my truck, ask why it was taking me so long to paint a fender

Indian113 · 09-16-2018, 08:06 PM

Jim, they may think they know your truck but I'm betting they haven't experienced it!
