So after seeing many patch repairs on my truck i decided to do a rattle can job flat black. It turned out good as you guys will see on the pics now all i got to do is repair a couple more spots.
cell pics might look a bit y
Before




After



and i will be taking more pics soon as i get time

 

looks good. easy to repair too =)

 

Looks good. Plan on flat black myself. Though I'll be using an air spray gun... How many cans? Any primer? How many coats? Did you ruff it up at all?

 

Damn if nothing else it sure makes your rig look tuff and as the other guy said eazy to maintain. looks good

 

i would look into the diy paint job.

check out that bad boy.

 

ya all i did use 400 grid and did 4 coats it was 6 to 7 cans and after i did i went to canadiantire and got a undercoat in a can and did the rockers. the only places that i primed were there was rust

 

Whats up with the hood? Looks like you tried to make a stripe type thing?

 

Looks sweet. I need to do mine sometime. Did you just tape everything? Here is how mine looks now:

ya the hood i wanted to paint the inside and tape but after to side just have the paint dust hit it so its like a fade

 

ya just cover your windows and door handles and u will be good

 

you should have taped off flames, so you would have ended up with shiny flames in the end

looks good man, great job!

 

Looks pretty good. It would look better if you did the hood but thats just my opinion.

It looks a million times better if you strip the doors (handle, window, panels, etc.) and all the trim and just paint all the exposed metal. Damn near looks professional. Why not just spend an extra hour and get perfect results

 

i am goin to complete it i just got to do a bit more rust repairs there

 

Nice paint job and cheap! Good work on the runner too man, I spray painted the bottom 1.5 feet of my runner this past fall with Duplicolor bedliner. I had to replace the rockers, they were pretty well gone. It did a good job, I liked the results.

 

thanks a lot guys
and i am acualy looking forward into buying my 1st gen 4runner

 

Sweet!

although I agree with the shiney flames idea

 

that would be a sick idea

 

You should consider a FLAT CLEAR like KRYLON so it has just enough protection from getting that dryed out chalkboard look been through that look before and it really don't look to good , flat clear will keep that fresh flat look you have now.

KRYLON Flat clear look no real shine but keeps the flat from drying out over time and looking like an old school chalkboard

 

the bad part is I am selling it and I am goin to buy a 1993 skyline gtr but after 2 to 3 months all buy a 1st gen 4runner

 

def look into a matte clear coat...im going down the same route myself once the weather gets nicer. im gonna roll my hard top with black gloss rust oleum, and then do my truck in some sort of metallic silver that rust oluem has, if it ends up being a flat then im going to do a matte clear coat over it.
