New to the forum and just wanted to post some pics of my truck since i painted it flat black. Its a 1999 ford ranger 4x4 4.0l, it had terrible bubbling of the paint all over so i needed a cheap fix, i put new 31x10.50 kelly tsrs, plastidipped my rims and any bumper plastics, removed all plastic fenders, color matched all chrome and the grill flat black and rustoleum auto tinted the tail lights and third brake light, let me know what u think

 

Nice Truck !!

 

thanks buddy, just need to touch up a few things, maybe clear signal and head lights, saw them cheap on ebay, as well as some new black lug nuts

 

It is black and flat. Anti bling machine. You did good.

 

i like it what kinda paint did u use the spray can or spray gun and many cans did it take ?

 

i used maybe a dozen spray cans of rustoleum black auto primer, walmart had it for like 2.50 a can, and i used maybe 3/4 gallon of rustoleum flat black, ROLLED on, 3 coats

 

i tried a few different mixes diluting the paint, and never came out as good as the straight paint, watched a few youtube videos but came out better with my own trial and error. i just made sure to change roller heads every 2 panels or so to keep it smooth, so far no bubbles or chipping and it has been a million degrees hear in nj everyday and it cooks in the sun

 

nice looks real good for being done by roller to lol did u sand it to?

 

yea sanded it a ton to get paint bubbles out, 300 grit on an electric sander for the heavy stuff and the rest was done with 600 grit by hand, then i washed it and wetsanded again with the 600 before priming
