It is what it is nothing special. My buddys Paps '79 F100 needed a new look. He didnt want to spend a lot so less than $100 and a days worth of work went into it. We chose Ace Rust Stop Leather brown. The truck stays inside all the time so it should last awhile.
Before:

 

We did absolutely zero bodywork only sanding so dont bring it up

 

Not too bad but not too good either. It was almost 100 deg outside when we did this so conditions werent ideal but it made his Pap happy.

 

I think it looks great. I've spent almost that much filling my gas tank up.

 

Nice. I thinking of repainting my truck this winter, but in parts since its tu-tone.

 

What kind of paint, how many coats? I hope my job looks that good when I get around to doing it.

 

dude for the effort and money that when into it i think it looks pretty good. going down the road on the other side of the hi way no one would know. how did you apply? my soo to be trail bronco needs a quick paint job, i hate red

 

It was Ace Brand Rust Stop like Rustoleum. I just did 2 coats on it.

 

Cool, inexpensive and looks good.

 

Thanks! I just thinned it with acetone and shot it out of older Binks HVLP gun. I did a 65 F100 with 2 yr old Rustoleum over the winter in the garage with temps a little cooler and it looks like glass. He washes it weekly too and it still looks nice. After they are done I kinda just have to stand there and laugh because it was so cheap and looks good. The hardest part is sanding it. My buddy ordered the white vinyl for the tailgate to dress it up a little.

 

Looks amazing, but I think you just pissed off all the maroon dentside lovers, cause you just covered their fav colour!

Not saying I mind the change at all, but others might.

Great job! How did you apply?

 

^^^^how I applied. Lol well Ace didnt have the factory Ford color so Leather brown it was. The truck had so much surface rust coming through the paint something had to be done. So we sanded it smooth and painted it. If I had a better setup I think I could paint a car pretty decent. Its not something I want to do everyday but its fun every once in awhile.

 

its only fun when the results dont have to be perfect, trust me.

 

I say a layer or 2 of clear coat and call it a day!! Looks awesome for $100.

 

reminds me of chocolate pudding.
