Finally got some really good weather here in the NW so I decided to Paint my truck. The color is Hugger orange or Hemi orange, I believe they are both the same color. I also Painted my rims.

crap, i posted it twice. how do i delete??

 

you cant any more you just have to wait for a mod to delete it

 

looks good! how did you paint it?

 

i actually painted it in my backyard. i used a HVLP gravity fed spray gun. i then wet sanded it with 1500 grit, then 3000 grit, then i cut and buffed it

 

That Looks good.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks awesome

 

nice work.

 

nice looking toyota. that is pretty much the exact same idea i am going to do with mine. does it show little dings and such pretty good or what? how do you like it?

 

that looks good, i was thinking about painting my next 4runner orange. You don't see to many that color.

 

Thanks guys. As far as the dings it really doesn't show much, the body was in pretty good condition to start with. As far as me liking it i think it turned out great, i couldn't be more happier considering i did it in my backyard.

 

Turned out real nice. Congrats on a job well done.

 

Looks damn good. Turned out really nice.

 

Looks Good. I'm not a fan of shiny paint on offroad rigs, but it looks great from here.
Painted mine too when I got it, but went flat and bedliner on the bottom.

 

Nice Work!! What did you use?

 

Excellent job man. The rims look good also.

 

Sick color scheme with the black rims!

 

for the orange i used leftover paint that my brother had. its called hugger orange i think. he got it from the local auto paint store. for the black i used duplicolor bedliner in the spray can. personally i dont like the duplicolor bedliner ( it doesnt have enough texture ) buts its what i could afford at the time. eventually im going to redo it with herculiner. the rims are regular gloss black by rustoleum or duplicolor, i cant remember.

 

I also used Duplicolr bedliner on the bottom of my truck... don't like it. Not very tough, faded pretty quick and hard to clean.

I certainly wouldn't go with anything with MORE texture down there, it just holds the mud better and is harder to clean.

No, I'd go for a flat black if I were to do it again.

Don't get me wrong, I like Herculiner, I painted a wall and a 1\3 with that in my basement in the man cave. What's manlier than having bedliner on the wall behind a 50" plasma? Not much! And Plasma's just love having a black wall behind them, the color on the screen seems deeper and more vibrant than say, a pink wall with yellow and blue flowers on it.
