Well The Time Has Finally Come! shes getting Paint! stripped her down and started the never ending job of sanding...

 

nice who is painting it?

 

Wow! it's been long overdue! Glad to see her getting some attention again.

 

Finally! You gonna let us know what color its gonna be?

 

funfun


you dont plan on painting it outside do you?

 

my sisters husband is going to spray it for me and fix the bodywork it needs.. i get to do the ****ty part sanding sucks
Something close to toreador red..all one color no more 2 tone..

Hell no lol we are taking it over to a shop and he is going to spray it there..iam just doing all the prep work at home so everything is ready to go when its time to be taken over to the shop to be sprayed

 

What's with the butterfly on all the pics.?

 

cool cool


I got stuck with the prep work on my old rangers hood (twice) and bumpers (twice)

NOT FUN

 

its my resize program i forgot to untick the watermark box

 

its gonna be wierd seeing that truck as one color!


do you have a set date that it's going to be painted... or is it whenever you get done sanding

 

as soon as the bodywork and sanding is done she will be primed then painted a few days later

 

awesome man, its gonna look sick!

 

Cant wait to see this thing done man, Im sure you are so happy after hearing people say paint it for years on the forum.

You truck will truely be nice once it has a nice coat of paint on it.

 

Only Thing Left is hand sanding the bodyline and smaller areas the air sander couldn't get to and also patching 3 areas on the truck with bondo
Remove the Bed and sand cab wall and bed edges
Remove Train-horns
Patch Bodywork
Spray rattle can primer on the bare metal areas
block sand
hand sand tag box, bodyline, V in the hood, cowl panel, around windshield

 

can't wait for the results.

 

^^Me too!!

 

if you are talking about patching the emblem holes with Bondo, good luck with them holding.....best/correct way to fill them in is to weld them....the Bondo wont hold very long....

to weld them up without having to put a plate behind them, hold a piece of brass behind them and weld them full.....weld wont stick to the brass, but it will fill the hole....then smooth....or you could cut out a patch piece and weld it in....


gonna look good finally 1 color...

 

'

never said i was shaving the emblems..there are 2 dents on the top of the cab needing fixing and the drivers door where the handle was shaved needs a wipe of bondo....

 

ahh...you said 3 places, and the emblems locations were the first 3 that popped into my head...

 

leave it sanded. screw paint..its a sweet look

 

sanding is done! now its bondo time..got a few low areas in the truck and a few dings and dents to fix...
Train-horns have been removeden
Tag has been removed
all hand sanding is now done

next is bondo
Then sanding
then full primer
then PAINT!!

 

Looks good! Can't wait to see the finished product!
