99% finished dupli color lacquer

Well here it is my 91 Ranger with dazzel camo paint job. I am going to add one more coat of clear and do a little more polishing but I am very satisfied with the outcome. It may not look as good as the one on "Trucks" But I was outside under a carport and never held a paint gun before. What do you think?

Yes I did I don't know crap about painting, This was the first thing I ever painted. The paint shop line made it easy and mistakes are really easy to fix. It dries fast (good since I painted it outside) and polishes up real nice.

Hey Butch. The truck looks awesome but I had to change to pictures to links. If you want to show off your truck, please either create a photo gallery here to link to or only post 1 picture. Also, if you post 1 picture, please keep the size down. Too many and large photos make it hard for the dial-up users to view. And yes, believe it or not, we still have dial-up users.

The truck does look great though.

I use firefox and I did post them as links. I didn't realize that explorer showed the picture just another reason to not use explorer. Thanks

The truck looks good, bet that took some time to do all those patterns. What kind of safety equipment do you need to use with this paint? I've been thinking about using it as well, but want to make sure I stay safe.

It was very easy to do it's painted backwards black first coat silver next with white last. Then untape and shoot the clear. I was painting outside and the dupli-color doesn't really have any fumes I wore a mask anyway while spraying. Clean up was with acetone that seemed more dangerous than the paint. Wear gloves that are solvent proof.

Nice first paint job especially an outside paint job. It gives me hope.
