Paint Round two

good day of sanding.Its hard to tell from the picture but I made good progress.

 

p***enger side had some rust issues on the door and a few other spots.Those are taken care of now.On to sanding this side and the hood(goal for next week).

 

another shot.tomorrow need to putty up a few chips and scratches

 

There is nothing wrong with wanting to do things better, especialy when your doing it yourself.

 

Damn - the truck is looking good !Well about to again ! I think my pickem up is getting way too jealous!

 

I have to agree with the others - go with the glossy. Just my opinon.

Cl***ier or not, it looks damn good shiny. Best of luck with it & I look forward to checking it out at the Round up.

 

GO Glossy! Shiny paint seperates the men from the boys!

 

you know and i know there's nothing nicer than a clean, straight, shiny black paint job. only thing is it's a ***** to keep clean. but it's well worth the time and effort you put into it. i vote shiny, and oh yeah, if you're using basecoat for the black, make sure you seal it so the urethane under it don't lift or wrinkle when you paint it. good luck.

 

my original intention was semi-flattened, i shot the dash with base and while it was wet (and glossy) my eyes lit up! Then it dried and i was like....um i dont think so. I like flat paint jobs, just not on my countless hours of bodywork.

 

Still sanding,filling and still undecided on paint color and finish.No pics right now due to lack of major visual change.One thing i know is I'm close to shooting the truck with 2k surfacer so I can block it out.Two months till round up.It will be there what ever stage its in,****ty or notI think shiny is in the lead but I really don't think I can pull off a decent glossy paint job.Thanks for all the input fellas

 

Don't let these "gloss deuchebags" sway your paint choice! Your truck looks really cool suede! If you need to redo it for better quality, redo it. But keep it suede if you want to...

 

half way done with the surfacer and then on to the black primer for the LSRU.

 

Nice truck. Like the stance and the wide whites very much. Cool.

 

thanks man

 

Don't know how I missed it at the round up last year, but I will definately be looking for it this year! Good looking truck

 

cool thanks.see ya there

 

You're doing a great job from the looks of your photos, I couldn't help to laugh at the shiny not shiny replies. That always happens in any paint thread. But the great thing is: These guys have some great opinions on both sides of the fence. The end result is you paint it the way you want it. Since you realized you wanted it to look better, Im sure it will turn out awesome!! just my 2c

 

Thanks a lot.Im gonna make everyone happy I guess since the cab from just below the gl*** up is going to be a glossy finish bone white and the rest of the body will be black somewhere between flat and a satin finish.In the end Ill be the happiest about being finished more than anything else

 

finished with the surfacer,the fenders and hood are almost perfect so those will only get the black primer when I do the whole truck on the 28th

 

Sweet Javier...was just wondering about how you were coming along...

I'll be doing the same to the twin in about 2 months...

 

thanks man.yeah slowly but surely.Im liking the two tone look,i was wondering if i would.i think the glossy white over satin black will be cooler than this pink and black shiz

 

I love this truck!The idea with the white top will look cool,either way!way to go man.

 

thanks man

 

here a look at the other side

 

I like it. And, I like it suede. I say run it low gloss and stripe it up. I don't care if something's been done a thousand times or not. The end result is all that matters. If it works, it works.
