New to site
Hi all,
New to site but am somewhat of a forum junkie on other sites. I have a 1993 F150 4.9 5 speed. It's actually not primer red but rattle can engine paint red. I touched up a couple of bare spots with it and liked the way it looked so I painted the whole truck that way. Here are a couple of pics.
No real future plans for the truck other than using it to haul parts for my 1963 Chevy II. I am looking for some decent 15 inch wheels on the cheap.
And not it's not the tow vehicle for the boat.

Well thanks for the kind words about the truck. I've done some real painting before so I guess it all comes down to technique when you do these things. Plus the original color of the truck was close to this color and that helps hide a lot of the errors. Here's a tip I always use, if you are shooting lighter colors use a slightly darker primer so you can see if you have complete coverage and vice versa with the darker colors use a lighter primer. I'm no automotive paint expert but I did some aircraft painting in the Navy. Oh yeah flat paint is a lot more forgiving than the gloss in my opinion.
