Re: What does it really take to paint a truck?
I went through this with my frame off restoration. Step 1 is figuring out which gun/guns you want to use. Step 2 a compressor that will push your guns. Step 3 your filtration and dryer. Step 4 PPE mask, painter suit, and eye protection.
After that you want to lower your expectations, it’s your first paint job. There will be runs, missed spots, filer pin holes you couldn’t see, etc. However, after you finish you’ll think about painting differently. You can always sand and re coat.
I recommend you take one fender or your hood all the way to complete. This will get the kinks out of your process. You don’t want to figure out that you had contaminants in your air supply, or didn’t use the right grit of sand paper after you finished the whole truck.
