↑ X2! especially the green! and what kind of prep work did you do before you sprayed it? and did you take the body panels off and do them individually or did you paint the whole truck at once? and how many coats?

ol_skool_chevy · 10-12-2010, 12:07 AM

there both just rustoleum with a mixed toner clear...

ol_skool_chevy · 10-12-2010, 12:23 AM

I really did not do alot....striped the bed, and Hood sprayed and sanded the truck and sprayed it....
It's not that hard to do...it took about 2 full coats of color..and 3 toner clear coats

Youngbuck7072 · 10-12-2010, 12:27 AM

what is toner clear, and what kind did you use?

R.L. · 10-12-2010, 11:10 AM

About how many cans of paint does it take, to one coat on a swb? I'd like to have enough cans on hand to complete a whole coat with out having to stop half way trough and go back to the store for more.

1LoC10 · 10-12-2010, 11:21 AM

I used 6 cans of Aqua and 1 can of black on mine

ol_skool_chevy · 10-12-2010, 12:20 PM

I bought 15 cans but only used 10 or 11 not including the inside of the bed and jams

LeatherMan69 · 10-12-2010, 12:25 PM

Man those look insanely nice!! way to go guys! i like the low buck feel but incredible style!

Mike J · 10-12-2010, 01:07 PM

Mine's rattle canned...

raider65 · 10-12-2010, 01:18 PM

On the paintjobs...did you all primer coat then the color or went to strainght color with a clear?

oldblue1968chevy · 10-12-2010, 04:40 PM

I think im going to do this...i just am scared lol I love that green truck! i need the trim from it though

6772owner · 10-12-2010, 05:30 PM

Here's mine.... the truck still needs a lot of sheet metal replaced, but I wanted to clean it up and get it looking decent in the mean time.

Mike J · 10-12-2010, 06:02 PM

on mine, i started to do body work to it (welded up the marker light holes and bed stake holes etc. etc.) then decided I wanted to be able to take it to some shows this summer so I just went ahead and thru the paint on it. I was already planning on doing it this way cause it's just supposed to be a beater/rat/whatever. Whole truck was taken to bare metal then sprayed with black rust inhibitor, then white primer, then finally satin green- no clear- top is gloss white - i still have rockers and cab corners and other parts to put on it, so paint will be coming back off at some point.

Rattle Can Joe · 10-13-2010, 06:17 PM

Here is mine. 8 cans of semi gloss black and 3 cans of semi gloss ivory. 1 can of red for the wheels.

Looks good Joe. The details make it... like using ivory around the grille opening. Did you primer first and what brand paint did you use?

It had an old paint job that I sanded down then just sprayed on top. Krylon is my brand of choice

Here is a picture of my brothers truck. (All rattle can) You can see my sub in the background. Sorry it's a pic of a pic but you get the idea. They don't call me Rattle Can Joe for nothing
