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.

Welcome to the site great loookin 93 you got

 

Thats a helluva clean looking paint job for spray cans. What did you do to finish it out & how many hours do you have in it?

Welcome to the melting pot...

 

Welcome to the forum. I was thinking about doing that to my truck once I patch ahole or two

 

Hell, looks pretty good to me.

Hey virto was that quote about the fuel filter.

 

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.

 

I'd like to do that to my truck to but I cant seem to get it to run right so Im thinking Ill just set fire to it instead.
