Did some painting.....
So, I got sick of looking at the stock paint that was peeling on my 94, so as if I dont already have enough goin on... decided to do something about it....
some before pics....
and the after:
I think it looks much better...but I am biased.... opinions, critiques? I know its not perfect... but not bad for $15 in paint, and 2 hrs.
*sorry about the pic sizes...my wifey is the photographer...lol

Nice rear bumper...
Seriously though, are you planning on doing the top half cause it looks like there's a lot of overspray on the right rear quarter...? Just curious.

Ya know...I was thinking that when I first got the truck, but it is mostly used as my dd, and I think the wife is gonna learn to drive this when I get my p/u done, and she like the boards. If I continue to drive it tho....they are coming off. Btw... this one will not see much off roading, other than a dirt road, or fishing trail. I've decided to beef up the 93, lift it, and wheel the hell outta it, I prefer the auto's off road.

very nice; honestly I had to look twice to see what was painted... it's that clean of a rattle-can job, lol
what happened to the left-rear?
if you do the hole truck, be sure to put some clear-coat on it though, that way it's a good use of the money and time, not a waste...

lol, The left rear was like that when I bought this $600 truck, the p.o. said someone hit him there.
When I do the whole truck, I will clear coat it, I will also prob use a sprayer, and not the rattle can, this was just meant to cover some soft spots and get me thru winter.

right on, looks good man
gees, $600, can't beat that with a stick... maybe a 2x4 though... but still, wudda steal!
but remember, half the paint job should be prep work (sand, primer, etc)... that is if you really want it to stay for a long while...

nope...she's a 4x4....I thought I got a great deal, all I had to do was, reconnect the exhaust and add a $2.00 gasket, all 4 ball joints, the idler arm, plugs, wires, cap,rotor, and some minor rust touch up.
Looks much better!

lol...ok, I was a little slow yesterday. I was curious as to why anyone wouldl think it was a 2x4, I couldnt even imagine owning one.... waste of a truck if you ask me, but to each their own.
