Are we having fun yet?

Welcome to Yotatech.

 

All kinds of it! Cant wait to finish this painting and start hackin some steel!!

 

acetone

 

Thanks dude! acetone it is! I will get some pics up in the morning after the primer is on.

 

Does wet sanding promote adhesion of the top coat, or is it simply for astetice purposes? Would like to know before I wet sand all these door jams!

 

i never wet sand anything and have no problems with adhesion, but i used flat paint so don't know if it helps with gloss or not when it comes to appearance....

 

That works for me! Using a simigloss paint, im not into the shiny stuff. That will save me alot of time not having to hand sand those jambs again. Thanks pepsi!!

 

Looks awesome.

WOW! What kind of paint are you using? It seems to be looking good! How come you are wanting to SAS?

 

I am using PPG primer and paint. I can get the numbers off the can if U need em.

The reason for the sas, would be the cool factor! Ive wanted to do one for about 5 years now, but never had the money. The ifs one the pictured 4runner is worn out, and needs replacing. I would rather put that money toward an sas that rebuild the stock ifs.

And the biggest reason, I want to get into rock crawling! An sas looks like the best setup to have. Not on the competition level, but something I can do with the fiance and daughter.

 

Looks awesome man.
I'm diggin' the paint booth too.

Thanks again Fink! Had several ideas for a paint booth. The one you see was the cheapest. It has hvac filters in one end and a 20 inch box fan in the other. Wouldnt think a box fan would pull enough to keep the overspray out, but it does a pretty good job!
Now i have to get started sanding all that other stuff. Hood, doors, fenders, good lord! Will it ever be finished!
Didnt know what to do about the painted fasteners, came up with a fix. Will post the outcome, good or bad!

 

Thinkn about putting the bedliner coating on the rocker panels and maybe arount the fender openings. What do yaull think? Help eliminate rocks scratchn the new paint?

 

I've always liked that look but some people go overboard with it and sometimes it can look a little
You do good work so I'm sure you'd do it right.

I say go for it - especially with all the time you've spent on the paint, hate to see it get ruined by a few measly little rocks.

Gonna have to do a little searchn and deside which way I want to go with it. Got to get the thing put back together first.
Finished sanding the rest of the parts today, get some pics up thursday, headed to virginia tomorrow to pick up some interior parts.

 

Everything painted!!!! Holly crap im glad thats done! I will get some more pics up in the morning for you guys. One question though, on the front door hinges, does hinge one or two go on top? should have written in down!! Would like two know so I dont have to do the trial and error thing! Thanks to all who have helped so far, really appreciate it!
