1966 Interior Paint
Hey, I'm looking at another affordable f100 with 4x4 on it. There is no paint in the inside, just primer, red primer. I don't have much money and I was wondering if that glossy ColorBond paint that LMC Truck features in there Interior Paint section would work on it.

Nason by Dupont is very afordable, Dupont Centari is easy to use... both acrylic enamel, both use a reducer and hardner and you can spray them with a 29 dollar cup gun from harbor freight if you have a compressor that will push 8-9.0 cfm. just make sure you buy the in line filter for moisture.
i gallon set up runs about 140-175 bucks and you end up with 1.75 sprayable gallons
if you are doing the interior only a quart is plenty
you will end up with almost a half gallon of paint.

You can get matching aerosol here. If you know how to do it, nobody will ever know it wasn't professionally done.

Houston,
As Bill W mentioned, these spray guns are pretty cheap (nothing beats quality though) ...the key is a moisture
trap in the air line as well as using a lower psi...somewhere in the neighborhood of 40psi, as you'll have less
"atomization" with the paint, allowing you to control droplet size and application better. When a proper automotive
paint is mixed, you add a "reducer" and hardener, (usually in the area of 4:1:1) and the consistency is close to that
of water.
Check your local Home Dep. rental department, you can rent a decent air compressor there...maybe even contact a
local collision center, they could sell you the amount of paint you need and then you add the hardener once you're
ready to go....just a thought.
Having said all that...it's amazing what you can get away with using a decent quality rattle
can...even Rustoleum! Good Luck.

My original dash is still in excellent condition. I need to paint the floor, kick panels, and behind the seat. I also need to paint a red steering column that I have when I swap it out to power steering and also my steering wheel when I fix the few cracks in it.

Most auto stores carry the pre mix Dulpicolor quart cans; if you got the means to push it; it will lay a better coverages; but if not as others mention on even a tighter budget, rattlecan painting is great. Good prep-work is a must.
