Paint Round two

Recommended dosage for block sanding is… 4(200mg) = 800 mg, of Ibuprofen.. two hours before of first roll of 180….. Followed by repeated dosage …. Every 4 hours.... or till your dead tired…
Great thread ... Javier

 

Thanks Moe but Ill probably be needing something a little stronger than Ibuprofen

 

Day one block sanding

 

Looking good Javier...I've been going back and forth about shaving my doors for 10 years...

 

Thanks Todd.Shave em

 

What the hell you doing now? Crazy foo!

 

Getting it ready for real paint dude!what do u think.damn

 

Satin metallic gold. Do it.

 

Your p/u is looking good...cant wait to see it finished!!

 

After all that hard work sanding it deserves a nice SHINY new paint job.

 

that truck would be sick painted dark emerald green. especially in a candy emerald over black base.

i'm sure it will look sweet! have fun with it!

 

That's just ignorant it's called personal preferance

 

A friend of mine gave me a gallon of PPG Deltron 1965 Galaxie maroon,so Im kinda of digging that idea.Ill throw a photo shopped picture of my truck in that next

 

color test what do y'all think?1965 Ford Galaxie burgundy

 

Word up!

 

the truck is lookin FINE!, , , ,i like the color..............
you should try mixing a little gold pearl into the paint
keep at it man,,,,,that's one cool lil truck,,,

 

I like that color! flat right? Maybe with a little pearl in it?

 

great work. Truck is looking awesome....but I stand behind my shiney comment.

 

Thanks guys, I like the color too.If I can borrow a paint booth to paint my truck in it will be shiny otherwise I'm not sure if I can pull it off in my garage.Anyone in Austin willing to let me use their booth?Ill pay rent

 

95% block sanded

 

a little mud on the doors

 

gettin' there javier,,,,,,,,,,,,,
it's gonna kick ***,,,
i never used to be crazy about that body style, but your truck singlehandedly changed my mind.........GREAT TRUCK!

 

Javier, just saw this........make sure that free gallon of Deltron isn't Deltron DAU(single stage urethane)---you can't, to my knowledge, get any catalyst for it. It used the old DAU2 hardener---long obsolete. If it IS DAU, get with a shop that uses PPG and you can turn it into DBU(basecoat) by adding the balancing clear DBX695---then you'll have about 2 gallons of maroon(whee!) All you'll need than is a good clearcoat setup.
Props to you for making a good truck better

 

Thanks Jim,you rule

 

Luckily that isnt the case.Its a PPG Deltron DBU Universal Basecoat>So its 1:1 basecoat to reducer.Thanks for looking out for me though.I appreciate that for sure.So yeah now I need the clear coat set up too.

 

Clean shave
