I finally got the project truck painted. Unfortunatley the paint didn't come out as good as I would have liked it. Usually I don't have to do much buffing but this time I either had to buff or repaint due to a few runs and orangepeel...#$@%$#@
As painted




I use 1000 grit on runs (carefully)and follow up with 2000

Sanded

Buffed

 

looks good. i love the color.

 

DSG FTMFW!!

 

Yeah I really like the DSG!

 

were gonna have twin trucks lmao

 

looks good i heard that color is a ***** to spray

 

it is.. very hard to match to the rest of the truck..

 

Yeah it has a lot of metallic. I have to pull the rest of the masking off in the morning so it can have a new windshield installed. Then I can see how well the ps matches. I didn't paint the whole door, but did clear it.

 

looks good man

 

x2

 

Thanks, I should get it together in the next couple of days

 

mines getting partially repainted next week hope all goes well with the DSG

 

Powerdome FTW!

 

Yeah Cody its hard to match but if the guy is experienced he shouldn't have much problems.

Love the powerdome!

 

FAA DAA!

Almost done...new windshield just installed!

 

thats because you read that on the forum not even a day ago in a thread

 

did you blend the paint? It looks like from where the fender ends and doors/cab start doesnt match really?

 

Itried to lightly coat it the closer I got to the original paint but I guess I went to far...lol
Its more noticable in the pictures than in person.

 

Looks good from what I can see.

 

I'm very happy with it. I took it for its first long ride today...ran great!

 

I seen it in person yesterday it looks great. And I drove it. I want it but John wont sell it to me. So I'll have to live with the green one sitting next to it for now.

 

I'd sell it but I kinda like it...going to hang onto it for a while. Besides you have less in the green one than I paid for this one wrecked...lol
