I started out removing the bumpers and painting them and my dad called in a favor for some body work and this is what i ended up with haha, it will be painted in about 2 weeks, ill put new pictures on when its complete. I started coating the bed too, to see how it looks. Im thinking im going to paint it about the same green it was, but i was thinking about balck, give me some ideas on paint.

 

From the pics it doesn't look like you prepped the paint at all . . . I also would (and did) remove my mirrors, you'll get an edge build up (esp. if you're using high build/fill primer). It's only 3 nuts holding them on.

 

^^^ dude it fill primer when you sand down the **** that needs fixed its prepped. then you sand everything for a final coat but i do agree with you take the mirrors off

 

I haven't the slightest clue what you just said but sure why not.

 

yeah thats just filler primer, it will be sanded down and coated with a regular primer and yes the mirrors will be taken off when its ready fro regular primer and paint

 

I think he was talking about the original green paint. It looks like it hasn't been sanded.

 

I did these photochops for another guy...maybe some ideas...

 

Even with filler primer, you still have to prep the surface. I did my drivers side fender and hood with filler primer, but also sanded everything down and fixed my high and low spots. Its ready for the final coat of primer and paint.

 

everything was sanded and scuff padded, i didnt do the body work, my great uncle did, he just retired after doing it for 40 something years, everything was done right

 

i get that what im telling you there is a reason there is fill primer where it is. it must have needed some puddy or something so im pretty sure that it was sanded.

 

I really like that dark grey with the green.

However, I've always liked that teal colour myself.
