Man, that did turn out nice for a Wagner power sprayer. Looks great!
Mine is a cheap paint job too. Believe it or not, this is a $138 (and a few cases of beer) paint job in 1998. When I lived in Detroit I had a work buddy that had a buddy that ran a little body shop in a barn outside of Grand Rapids, MI. We drove from Detroit to GR on Friday afternoon and drove it back Sunday afternoon wearing fresh paint. I think we may have done some liver damage to ourselves that weekend too. It turned out pretty nice for a couple drunks performing a weekend paint job
Outside of one small dent in the tail gate it was an easy paint job as the truck is native CO truck with no rust and there was no other body work that needed to be done. The bottoms were already Rhino’d so all we had to do was the easy flat surfaces and the new color was close enough to the old where the jambs did not need to be sprayed. All I had to buy was the base coat and a few rolls of DA paper as we were able to use up some left over primer, sealer and clear coat from my buddies buddy.
Fresh out of the both in 1998. The paint color is actually a 1998 Pontiac Montana minivan Quasar blue. I picked the paint color out of a Pontiac brochure from work
Same paint job still on it 15 years later. Just a lot of clay baring and polishing after ever desert run to keep it up. Being garaged all the years has helped too. I'll say this though, for a POS minivan color, it does a great job of hiding desert pin striping until you get up real close. The water skipper that landed in tailgate paint 15 years is still there too.
The paint looks dark at night and really bright in the snow. Perfect chameleon color
