Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
First thank you. 1200 is the courses they have that is used with water. The 320 cuts it good, but is done by hand, and I'm lazy. My thinking is between the two I will get the paint cut down thin, and still have a good surface for new paint...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Oh Wise one, would you go step by step the process from raw steel to last clear coat. What materials you use, you know what type of primer, sealer, color, and clear. What sand paper and grits for what application. things that I need to avoid. Recommended any brands and such, what type/style sanding blocks. I've painted several projects using laqur, time to join the 21st century. This is not a time sensitive issue, just when you have time.
What gun and pressor for the various stull Your painting skills are very good, all on needs to do is look at you roadster pick-up Thanks in advance NC From Clear and Still Idaho!!! ![]()

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
NC, I'm not a great painter, I just take my time, read directions,follow them, and talk to my local guy at the paint store. It's been 9 to 10 yrs since I've painted. My son Mark does all the painting on his projects.
I will get a list and what I did painting my 50 and also Jimbo's 67...Jim

PPG products Exopy primer DP-40LF (comes in several colors) Hardner DP-402LF Buff polyester primer MX-245 high build(no longer made) Primer surfacer K-36 Hardner K-201 Some primers also have a reducer, and I can't find it in my old files. I used a single stage paint with NO clear. Acrylic Urethane DCC (47100 was my color) Urethane reducer DT 870 Urethane hardner DU5 Shop line products Epoxy primer JP-371 Hardner JH-3770 High build primer filler JP209 uses same hardner and reducer at primer sufacer Primer surfacer JP202 Hardner JH301 Reducer JR 506 We ONLY have PPG dealer in my town. You may have a different paint company. I've been using PPG since the late 70's, before that I use DuPont on my 56 chevy, but like PPG better. You best bet is to get to know your paint person, that can help guide you through just about everything. You can even stop at body shops and ask them what primers, etc. they use. Paint guns are really hard to say. My truck was painted with a Walmart HVLP gun and the paint came out fine. Now days they want a different tip for solids and clear. Also some high build primers need a 2.0 tip. East wood has some good guns for a fair price. Which ever product you buy, get the product or data sheets, it tell how to mix, flash time, etc. Sand paper is ????, each person does it different. I use 180 to 220 dry for my primers, when I'm sure body work is done, by final primer, is done with 400 or 600 wet paper. Cutting and buffing the paint is again up to each person, I normally start with 1500, then 2500 wet paper then 5000 with palm sander. Then buff. Hope this helps...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Nut Case this is Mark (oldman3 son)
As for the gun I have been using the 3M Accuspray it has removable tips 1.3,1.4,1.5,1.8 and 2.0 You use 1 Gun and only change the tips for different materials. Check into it. the pressure it sprays at will be stated from manufacturer and the Data sheets. Mark

You can practice when spraying primer, getting the pattern right, air pressure, distant, ect., it helps, so you feel more confident by the time your ready for paint...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
That must have been tough to sell the old rod to fund this build at first. Kudos to you for doing that. And great work so far!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well I wasn't going to say anything about this, but I should update everyone.
Day after Christmas I couldn't hardly get out of bed. Long story short, I've been layed up since then. Doctors say it's two things. My sciatica, and also bursitis in the left hip. It could take up to 8 weeks to clear itself up, so I haven't done anything since working on the hood. I'm getting around OK, but just have to take it easy and work this out. As soon as I'm able I'll post on the repair work...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Take your time and heal up. I think our age has made us a more aware of pain. Be careful walking around if you get any Ice in your area.
