Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well we went, ate at my favorite Japanese joint (too much) with my favorite (only, but still favorite) brother and sis-in law, He got lucky, computer spit out 11 seats from center front row. His pics are really good. Show was GREAT, had a good time. Hope to be back at it today.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
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- Dash- Overall- 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.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
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!
![]() ![]() Razor blades to get the trash/runs gone- More blading- Sanded blade marks out w/1000 grit, then 1200, then- Polished with cutting creme on wool, Meguiar's 9 and 3. Ooooooh, shiny! (much better) Thanks for playin' along, folks!

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

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck
Well thanks, my running comment has always been if i can just get it on there ok, I can fix it after that! Not the world's best painter, but a fair to middlin' polisher. Anyway, here's some pics from yesterday's action!
Mixin' the fixin's- Based! It's yellow! Visiting with the neighbors, so as not to mess with it between coats! Cleared! Ooh! Pretty! Owner is pretty stoked at this point.
