hopefully it will last longer than the last time we spray painted it.

oh and im marks other son.....lol.

 

haha yeah, idk why i wanted todo flat black, it was a stupid idea.

we need to hangout sometime before you leave, if not hopefully you will be back by late feb so we can go out on my bday haha.

 

bringing this thread back from the dead.


i was in aco the other day and seen they were having a sale on paint.
$25 later, i walked out with this.







as of right now i am only painting the rear and the cab of my truck, i see no reason to waste paint on the front because im doing the swap soon.

 

Well what are you waiting on. Get it done! ha

 

haha, ive been working on the bed for a few hours now.
rust sucks, but i cleaned most of it up and primed it.

i still have more rust to sand down and smooth out.

i took off my tonneau cover and the foam stuff stuck to the bed, so i had to peal all of that off and sand it, what a pita that was...

im done for the day.
pics to come when i get home.

 

oh, im useing my palm sander tomorrow, i have a huge blister on my thumb that hurts like hell now.

 

LOL, me and a friend of mine had this 94 Aerostar that was our "ratrod van" and we sprayed it flat black. Didn't look bad at all, primered and cleared.

 

 

all of the round things are spots i need to sand or work on.

the big thing of rust is above my windshield, not quite srue what im going todo with that yet.

 

make it look like your rear bumper!

 

whats wrong with my rear bumper, other then the corner being scraped up?

 

I think he means make it nice and shiny like your rear bumper?

 

maybe..

it will look good when im done, i just have alot of prep work todo.

 

you gonna pull all the badges or paint around them?

 

im not painting the front, let it rot, its all rusted up from the road salt..

i have 98 parts that are clean to put on it, i just have to get a core support, hood, bumper and some bulb sockets for the turn signals.

 

As long as it's not painted with a paint brush like my old HS shop teacher did his station wagon with this should turn out pretty good if you take your time.

 

Paint it yet? Hurry the flip up! I'm going to start buying compressors, spray guns, sandblaster, etc. I wanna turn my garage into one of them paint shop thingers. I'll paint your truck D.

 

I meant on the gate and fenders, but I remember you got new fenders so I guess I just mean the gate

 

Man rust owns that truck! Glad I live in the south! ha.

 

its the road salt in the winter.

all of the spots on the bed/doors are scratches and dings that need to be taken care of.

now the fenders and hood...
thats a lack of paint on primed fenders, add a little salt and bam, you have my fenders and hood haha.

hopefully i can get some more work done to it tomorrow.

after im done painting im going to wetsand it and put some clear on it.
should look good after its said and done... i hope...

 

Any updates here, Dan??

 

haha no, its way to cold out..

im just going to wait till spring, i just want to get it running again.

 

I was actually thinking the exact same thing, lol. WAAAAY too cold.
