this was my first truck, im thinking about painting my 95 the same scheme just better quality and better bodywork lol

this was cheap spraypaint, duplicolor i think.... the tremclad on mu mustang turned out better

 

my jaw just dropped....haha

 

I'll be doing a rattle can paint job on a new project I just got, a 90 lincoln Town Car. 1st I have to rid what looks like house paint some mo-mo used!! I hope the pressure washer will take that crap off if not lots of sanding/grinding is in store....

 

Hope the pressure washer works for your sake... Freakin' HOUSE paint... ...wtf.... Good luck.

 

wrong year for the thread, but, rattle can nonetheless

J

 

I don't know what kind of paint it is, but its globbed on in places and cracked/pealing off....



Blue Mule is behind the car with the good cab on. Now going to sand blast the firewall and floors to apply POR-15 a friend donated to me!

And yes, its going to get a rattle can paint job once all cab work is done!

 

not really a ford, but heres what i did last weekend. its rustoleum flat black. lol. about $4 a can, and covers pretty good.

Hey, this is my first post here on the site, and I know this is an older thread, but I'm hoping someone can still help!! Is there anyway to paint over only the second color in my original paint? My 95 has the exact same grey/white scheme as the original poster, but I want to go straight up white. Is there any good way to paint over only the grey? I would obviously use duplicolor oem matching paint to match the factory white paint. Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance!!

 

Use a good quality primer that's light in color. I hope you're planning on spraying the whole truck white because the new white will never match the old. Your factory paint has had 18 years to fade and become dull.

 

Well here is what I did, nothing special, was intended more as a winter protective layer then anything but still it's rattle an duplicolour John Deere green and turned out deciding for a first time attempt (and for being done at an apartment complex)

 

I rattled canned mine with rust oleum brown primer. It’s held up really good.

 

This was even cheaper than Rattle Cans!

For <$10 Quart you can get Rust-O-Leum enamel at Home Depot! Now you will need a Spray Gun and an Air Compressor though, there are stories online of people successfully applying with other methods. I did this paint job back in 2014 I can't remember how much paint I used but it was probably 2 quarts I had maybe $50 into the paint and materials. I thinned the paint 50/50 with Acetone and shot the truck using a cheap HLVP gun. Came out amazingly good with no runs and no orange peel! Seriously better than cars I've painted with real automotive paint. I did do a good sanding of the old paint, cleaned and wiped it down with Acetone and just shot the Rustoleum right over the old paint. I replaced the sheet metal in the rear wheel arches and the bottom of the cab behind the doors and it looked horrible after trying to fuzz in the paint with spray cans which necessitated the repaint in the first place.

Unfortunately I sold the truck just a few months after I fixed the body and painted it. I'd love to see how it's holding up or not holding up today. I wish I hadn't sold it, but at the time I thought I was making it out selling the truck at a profit over what I paid. You can't find decent trucks with the 300 and an M5OD today. At the moment I'm in the middle of doing the roof on a GM truck that was rattle canned and just didn't hold up, although this time I'm using Finish1 single stage @ $50/qt, which for the money is a great paint, I did a car with Finish1 3 years ago in black and it still looks good today (sits outside in the CO sun everyday).
