Pics of trucks in Primer Paint

[markeb01]

That’s exactly why I used it, I've had more fun with the truck since the blitz black than I ever did when it was wearing shiny paint. I drive it everywhere now. Before I used to worry about the paint getting scratched.

I originally painted the truck in gloss black lacquer (which chips easily) nearly 15 years ago. It was my daily driver for a 72 mile commute for 9 years and we lived on a rock road, so the paint really took a beating. Due to the number of chips, and since I didn’t want to disassemble the truck to strip all the lacquer I just feather edged everything and then surfaced the bad areas with U-Pol primer (applied with a roller). I also removed all the seam sealer on the roof and resealed it with self-leveling Evercoat Maxim.

I bought two gallons of paint (just in case) and used about 5 quarts to paint the exterior. I didn’t paint inside the bed. It was either $30 a gallon or $50 a gallon. I don’t remember for sure and lost my receipts in a computer crash back in August. With all that, some thinner, Rage body filler, and sand paper I probably had another $100-$150 dollars invested when it was all done. So it cost somewhere a little over $200 for the whole job.

Just ran across this post while searching the forums.
My thinking is the same; I don't want it so pretty that I have to worry about every little chip.

That's real close to the color I want.
What did you use?

I can finally post to this thread! I've since painted the grill white and am in the process of sanding the front bumper.

You'll laugh and may not believe me, but its the paint they use for painting handicap spots in parking lots...

I didn't laugh
I would guess it's pretty durable.
I could see if someone wanted a slightly darker tint they could add some flat black.

I like what Mark posted in another thread about painting the truck so it looks nice but you're still not afraid to use it.

I'm leaning toward mixing some Rustolium Sail Blue with some flat white to see how close I can get to the blue my truck is now.
