Got the paint and clear on tonight. It was the biggest P.I.T.A. ever. It's not that good for a number of reasons. After another 1.5 hrs of masking (Now 4.5 hrs total............dang big truck)
Here's pics.
That is NOT me painting. That is my friend Kyle that is 6' 4" and could reach. I could not. I was pretty upset that I can't paint my own truck, but the roof shouldn't exactly need to be painted by me ever again so it's ok.
Spraying Epoxy Primer as a sealer coat.
'nother view.
Then baked for 10 mins @ 160*
Now for 3 coats of Black.
Uno.
Dos.
the end.
Baked another 10 minutes @ 160*
Then we had the fiasco of two coats of clear. Kyle's arm was gonna fall off. So Me, him, and another guy also named Kyle broke it up into 3rds (i did where i could reach) It was a mess, so crazy I couldn't take any pics. We were literally standing on the windshield and bed hanging onto the ceiling to do this.
And baked for 10 @ 100* and will sit overnight.
The job isn't THAT good. There are 3 runs/sags/drips and a couple dry spots here and there. And quite a bit of dirt/dust in it (mostly because the filters in the booth need to be changed :doh
and I can sand/buff a little of it out Tuesday on the last day. It's not really that bad and you know what, it looks way better than this!
It looks right with the crushed bed and scratches here and there and scraped hood. It's a dang work truck that is just real nice, and killer. I'm not worried about it. I did that work myself besides most of the finish paint, which really wasn't my fault cause I would have. That's better than what alot of people can say.
