That's an understatement. Remember the tailgate... Dust cloud. Trust me any contamination came from my panels not being properly cleaned and not the booth. Sorry Kyle. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Didn't mean to ruffle anybody's feathers. I said 'he' I assumed the painter cleans the parts before painting. My brother does so I figured...

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I believe Mike painted it himself, he just used Kyle's booth. I'm getting that from reading between the lines on post #1689 in page 68 of this thread. I may be mistaken, but if I'm right, the painter did clean the parts before painting
Still looks great Mike! Some trash is hard to avoid, even if you are very meticulous. At least it's sanding/buffing out.

I prepped the panels as best as I could but obviously, there was some dust lurking inside of stake pockets or came off my sleeves, whatever..... It's going to happen. Maybe not in your brother's garage but pretty much everywhere else. Quote:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I'm sure even Chip Foose get's a little dust in his jobs from time to time. Good technique with the sharpie, gonna steal that when I get around to wet sand and buff. Truck is looking great gonna look like a sheet of glass when you're done.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
ok I won't comment any more about that and I had forgotten that you previously mentioned you had painted with assistance or tips. Obviously your technique works well, but others should also be made aware that cleaning of parts prior to paint, (and/or) primer is essential. Too large of particles could end up falling out when sanded, causing more issues. My brother's garage is far from clean (even when cleaned). He'll usually air hose off and wipe down prior. There's lots to the whole process. Life happens, I get that.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Kyle
Thanks. I was worried the shiny red paint would give me fits in the Oklahoma sunny summers. I used the Medallion Hot Rot satin black , Heck I still have a half a gallon. I need to use it somewhere other than the engine bay |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Something about these trucks that just makes you want to fix them up. Mine was just going to haul, trash, brush, 2 by 4's and pull a trailer when I got it. Then I caught the bug.
Your dash looks great! |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
The hood looks great! Nice touch with the dash. Now you just need to worry about the reflection from the hood, especially driving into the sun as evening starts.
Ask me how I know

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Mike, in my opinion you're paint is turning out great, and the main point is, You are doing it yourself. Keep up the great work. You're going to have one fine ride.
