Brownie I saw your signature in another thread and I was going to PM you to see if you painted it or got another truck. Man that sure looks good. What an improvement.

When will you finish the rest?

I'll finish the rest when I get some good weather or can steal someone's garage for a few days. I don't have any way to cover it or access to a paint booth.

Don't laugh too hard... but Rustoleum looks pretty good when you take your time and prep it really good. Along with some clear coat. I still need to put clear and pinstriping along the edges of the red.

I'm either gonna get a new stock chrome grill or one of the aftermarket stock style all chrome grills.
Maybe a billet grill...

Acutally a spray paint paint job does look good when it is done correctly... I have seen it done a few times. Just never done it my self.

.

Truth be told, I will have to get the pics, but I restore a old 60's CASE Dozer (G310) and a Ford 641 Workmaster, and me and mom painted them both with spray cans. The trick is, you get alot of cans of paint, and you do it like your using a regular paint gun. It comes out great. Yours looks good man, lol thas probably how I will do mine when I get the bodywork done.

Brownie, I like the fact you are doing it yourself. In the worst case scenario, if you do not like it, you can always sand it off.LOL

It's a daily driver/work truck... it doesn't need to look GREAT! Just decent. I'd rather have a fast truck than a good looking one. The more I save on paint, the more I spend on go-fast parts!!!
