I am thinking about painting my truck. does anyone know what i need to buy to do it?

 

Looks like you have a pretty nice truck so this may not be of intrest to you. But I saw a guy on here that did a ratle can flat black paint job, and it looked pretty sweet. He tried some clear over it with rattle cans too, but it didnt look as nice. I guess clear is better to go on the conventional way. I rattle canned my wheels with flat black and high gloss clear and they turned out pretty nice.
When I paint my truck I'll probably get a spray gun for my air compressor though. I'll keep and eye on your thread, maybe I can learn something too.

 

your best bet is probably going to be to get it professionally painted

but, if you do do it yourself, make sure that you use plenty of tape and plastic so that you dont get paint where you dont want

also, dont forget to take off your decals before you paint
you should be able to put them back on with some type of adhesiveness

 

doesnt look like he has any type of decals to me

I caught my truck on fire the other day and the heat caused the hood paint to bubble! looks like i might need a really big sticker or a paint. hmmm

 

There we go, what a good reason to get a new paint job!

 

A good compressor at least 10cfm @ 90psi minimum!
3/8 50ft air hose
An orbital sander (air)
100, 220, 320 sandpaper.
sanding block
masking tape and paper
primer
whatever paint brand and finish you like
respirator
laquer thinner
lint free rags
paint gun (gravity feed Sata, Devilbiss some brand along those lines)
garage to sand and paint in
beer
paitence
time

 

i already got the beer. Al Right.

 

I'd add extra doses of patient and time...I guess that also might necessitate more beer
