Another sub-$100 dollar rattle can camo job

 

[simpleman83]

About 60 bucks in primer, 60 bucks in blue/white, and 20 in clear coat, although that doesn't show. Needs a good wet sanding and a bunch more clear....All Rustoleum from Walmart. It helps that you can buy the White and Primer in the "33% more" cans.

About the truck in question, if it's the brown truck that was recently posted somewhere around here, I like the brown paint. Maybe I'm remembering a different truck though.

You may be thinking of the paint thread I posted.
I've decided to keep it's original colors. Got other shtuff to worry about.

I have been enjoying this thread though. Dig that orange/black color scheme. Tan top would ruin it in my opinion. My local Autozone has that Duplicolor Paint Shop (or whatever they call it) in quarts and in stock. I have an HVLP gun, maybe one day I'll get frisky and go buy some Hugger Orange and go nuts.

I was thinking about doing a 2-tone black and silver as well, but using Durabak's smooth (non-textured) bedliner. Plus you can brush it on so no spraying necessary.

I've also been really happy with Chassis Saver as an undercoating. It's incredibly tough stuff but I wouldn't want to paint the exterior with it.

Here's mine 86 in 72 apple red

I'll play. Roll-on rustoleum. These were taken very soon after completed.

It looks good from a distance. Didn't bother to buff out the orange peel though. Only thing I've really noticed after a couple years is it scratches very easy along with the sun-beaten spots (like the hood) are starting flake off, which is probably just my fault.
