Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Nope, still got a big can of yellow! Been a weird busy stressful week here and at work. Went to paint interior on Monday and found a dent in the rear cab wall, so I got it worked and skimmed and primed. Had hockey and kid stuff rest of the week, then Jimmy Buffett tomorrow night. Might sneak the rest of the prep in tomorrow and shoot Sunday if I'm lucky. No pics, nuthin to see! Thanks for the digs, though, it keeps me Rollin !

Ta-Daaaaa! (disclaimer: poster is jack of all trades and master of none!) Interior is painted! Couldn't do cut-ins on doors, ran out of everything. And it flipped cold on me, which causes problems. Had a few runs, but it's all under other stuff. Sand out the dirt and good to go! Here's the pics, as promised!
After the first round of base- Attachment 912985 Dash- Attachment 912986 Overall- Attachment 912987 Feels like a big weight off. Now, to cut-ins and prep to get this pig off the road and strip 'er down! Thanks for all the reinforcement, guys, it helps. |

Why, thanks, Tink, but I think you'll like this better. So, I got the paint on but it was full of trash, and small runs, and orange peel. Ah, but there's an ace in the hole. I actually do know how to wetsand and polish fresh paint. So, it's on, let's fix it! :metal::fro:
Razor blades to get the trash/runs gone- Attachment 913795 More blading- Attachment 913796 Sanded blade marks out w/1000 grit, then 1200, then- Attachment 913797 Polished with cutting creme on wool, Meguiar's 9 and 3. Attachment 913798 Ooooooh, shiny! (much better) Attachment 913799 Thanks for playin' along, folks! |
Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Update: seam sealed, reprimed, masked up, ready for door and firewall cut- ins!

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well you did make it look great, back in the day I had a friend that hard a real hard tine getting everything right for a lacquer paint job. But he was the best cut and buff guy you would ever meet. I think it is the end result we all are after, lots of ways to get there. Keep up the good work
