my crappy paintjob
 

well the thread name says it all. i decided to finally rattle can my truck flat black this past saturday. i roughed it up all over with 800 grit. i primered all most all of it with 2 cans of rustoleum. the ones with 33% more. i bought 5 cnas of the 99 cent flat black. i taped everything up real good and got to work. as i was painting i noticed the flat black was going reeeaaallly quick. to make a long story short, its kinda of tiger stripped, and i ran outta paint. i had to go in to work at 4 on saturday to make things worst, so when ever i get a day off that the winds not blowing like a tornado like it has been the past two weeks im gonna redo the whole thing with krylon flat balck. take a look at the haggardness. trustyrusty atleast i tried

looks good, get another couple cans and finish it up. you shouldn't have to resand the black just get it clean and it will stick.

atleast you taped everything off decently...i dont think itll look too bad once its done...

don't look too bad, man. i painted my truck a couple weeks ago. it took 8 1/2 cans.

deffinatly get krylon, they make the best spray paint. some have the adjustable 360 degree nozzle. works great!

EDIT: the hood is a pain in the *@&*&. you might want to take the it off and set it up vertically, i didn't do this and it shows.

Just throw some more on. Has anyone ever considered the desert tan. I can't wait till my paint is shot.:banger:

mooooo

:D

^^ i was waiting for that

I say leave it as is, and hang some utters under it! :banger:

at least that's what I would do :D

Its looking good , Like others have said a few more cans and its all good.

You should paint it like a cow, black and white, that would be tight. haha.

I have the perfect name for your rig......SPOT!!!!! Every rig has a name.....

mine doesn't :(

I think you should have painted the truck in primer gray. I think the old yotas look grate in primer gray.

old? :think: it's a 95!

keep painting it looks good. I do recommend taking the hood off it makes it so much easier to paint.

It far from being new. It's 14 years old..... I am thinking about painting my primer 90 because the clear coat is coming off in places. And the paint is starting to chip in places.

if 95 is old, then you're spoiled :D

my Toy's 18 years old, and I consider it to be in it's prime :banger:

mine exactly... cept primer gray. ha ha.

well thanks guys but i dont think it looks all that great. i was gonna leave it primer gray but it was really hard to not strirpe it bad. trust me i tried. i guess its where my old paint was black. with bout 3 or 4 coats it might look okay. wow how did i know that someone was gonna say somethin about a cow. hahah. i was thinkin of leavin it and doin somethin crazy like dual cases arb's blah blah blah so the guys with there cute jeeps lifted 9 inches and huge tires would be like look at that POS toyota, right before i crawled over them. im hopefully gonna finish it next week if frickin wal mart will give me a day off. cuz i dont think the ole lady will like the looks of pullin up to prom in a dairy cow. but its gna be covered in mud so it dont matter:)

I considered desert tan but I thought that could prove to be a bad idea if I ever get stuck in the desert... :(
I still think it would be cool though
