Cheap Paint

I've painted with rustolium, tractor supply, heavy equiptment enamel , all with good results. Rustolium and tractor supply paint spray well and cover quickly , I've used hardener with both , acetone and naptha work OK as reducers. The better the reducer the better the outcome. Google Trinity paints for cheap paint kits , their products work great for the money.

Have A Great Day ---- Hotwrench

I like it too, it's going to be fine for a DD and like I said in a couple other threads, i'm not a huge fan of a 50's truck with a super shiny paint job, it just looks off to me.

I guess it comes down to priority for me and i'd rather have a truck that dives great and goes a little faster than something that has an awesome paint job. I like the lines of this truck and the 50's styling, it'll still have that whether I spend $150 or $5000 on the paint.
