Started my rattle can paint job today..

It's turning out more wicked than I could have ever imagined! Came out ridiculously smooth and shiny, especially since I've only done one coat and no sanding.

 

not too shabby!

 

what kinda paint r u using??? i am doing the same with my truck....even the same colour

 

where you doing this its freezing out!!

 

Don't use the Dupli-Color. My tailgate came out like s***.

 

Thanks!

Rustoleum. The bed's flat green and the cab is a glossy blue.

Behind my apartment, it got up to 11 degrees today in Calgary. I ran out of paint though, and it looks like "snow/rain showers" for tomorrow, so instead of more paint I got plugs, oil, a filter, and started draining for a change.

 

I rattle canned my truck too!! It turns out great if you just take your time.

 

rustoleum and 11 degrees? good luck.

 

i think he is in Celsius, its 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit

still a little cold though...

 

Yeah, that is still to cold really. and rustoleum is not an automotive finish, and will not stand up to such. just as easily could have at least had some single stage made up and shot that on.

 

lol
rustoleum is rust paint
it was rusty

what do you want?

i paid $100 for my truck :p

gonna do some yellow stripes
the box is green but i'm gona throw a flatbed on

 

I hope you're kidding, about it doing anything about the rust.

for a 100, yeah I guess it does not matter much.

 

What do you mean? I thought rust paint was supposed to eat and dissolve rust leaving behind a brand new metal after the chemical reaction is complete. I heard you can even use it to fill holes if you stick some cardboard in flush first and lap it on thick enough.

 

The rustoleum stuff that comes in roll on style is really durable, and can be wet sanded to a mirror. I put some on 2 years ago, and it has no cracks or bubbles (with barely any prep work, just a quick wipe down with acetone). You can spray it on also, just thin it down first. Really cheap way for a decent paint job, and the best part is you can touchup without having to clear coat or anything.

 

x 5 on loving the ease of application and fixing blemishes..

i keep a half a can of the same paint in the glove box the tip out and a tall bottle cap taped to the top over the nib.


bout a week ago i had a HORRIBLE miss with my key at night. (black locks)

and put a 2 inch scratch just under the lock..

took out my can and zapped that mofo back to new .

people are always stunned when they see it too.

 

haha, do you do that in the lot when you scratch it?

 

Did another can:





I kinda regret painting the door handles and keylocks, but I was lazy and have no tape.

 

lol that thing is sweet.

 

i rattle canned my truck durring summer. it worked great! but i live in northern utah and the salt thay use to melt ice and snow has really taken its toll on my clear-coat-free paint job.. i'm doing it again but this time its getting a clear coat to fight off those nasty salt demons

 

so does that thing got a hemi?
