wouldnt be gloss for long. i'm gonna primer it black and see how that looks then i'll either go for an oem color or leave it primer


3 easy steps to a quality paint job:

Step one- surface prep
you will always want to undergo detailed surface prep, your final product will never excede the quality of your base surface.

use a swift side to side motion to effectively clear the surface of any unwanted material

Step two- primer
once your surface prep is complete, you will want to lay down at least one if not two solid coats of primer.


Step 3- paint
this is your final step. youwill want to lay down a good thick coat of paint to make 'er perty and seal everything off.
apply your paint in nice smooth even strokes


make sure you dont miss any spots


and enjoy your new perty truck!




really tho on a serious note, i did my quarter panel and it looks perty good imo i think i'll do the whole truck this color with black primer underneath

how do you guys think it looks?

 

I like that color, alot actually! Where did you find it and what is it? You need to take that drivers mirror bracket piece off that held the mirror, and put the CB on the door where the mirror bracket mounts, it'd look cool!

 

its a rustoleum from my local hardware store i dont know what the name of the color is.

i was lookin at some 35x14.5's last night for like 600 bucks with 90% tread left so i should have a set pretty soon

 

Thats frickin bad ass. I wish I woulda painted my whole truck that color.. I'm thinking about rattle canning my truck gloss black but I think it'd look like crap..

 

yeah idk i like the flat.
you still could paint your truck this color just on top of the black

 

Now you got my wheels a turnin... Can you tell me what color that stuff is? Flat is WAY too hard to keep clean/looking nice..

 

idk its rustoleum brand the lid looks like the color of the paint

 

Haha your not much help!

 

its an easy find

 

wooooooooooooooo biege rustoleoum!!!!! Did you take video of me goin up that run at your place? if so you sooooooooooooo gotta send it this way i'd love to see the open diff doing buisness.

 

oh yes i was just thinkin about that. i'll post it up but its pretty bad quality. you can see you're kickin some roost tho

 

hmmm, Why not primer white, that'll make any color pop better, it looks more white to me though....

 

yeah thats what everyones sayin. the black primer will make it a little darker which i'd like cause it is a perty light color.

 

haha you gotta love the sound of a 3.4 in a 92. Next time you can use my phone for the video, its better quality. And what you need to do, is go gloss beige for the main collor and flat black for accents. that would look bad ass. Do it two tone and extend the black out from the bottom into some sorta tribal graphics. I've got an awsome picture in my head right now of your truck. maybe i can photo shop my design using some of your pictures...hrmm...

 

feel free. i was planning on flat blacking everything but the body kinda like my first truck

 

Got my driveshaft done! It's perty sexy.

Nice tight fit there

 

Nice work man!
And nice Airstream! Those things rule!

 

lol,cool driveshaft,cant wait to see how it handles the trail!

just make sure you stuff that thing with as much grease as you can !

 

yes they are great. gotta get an older one tho ours is a '68

 

Looks nice but, What was wrong with your other one...?
