**landarts** · 10-04-2011, 10:34 AM

I would imagine so, he seems to thrive in the moment cokeb. We will be shooting the cab, then the bed separately. After assembly we will have a little color sanding to do and buffing.

**landarts** · 10-05-2011, 12:49 PM

Still have the cab and box to paint. Taking a few days off , some painting will resume next week.

Well finally back to finishing the paint job. Got everything out of the garage and pulled the bed in on its stand. Finishing up a little wet sanding on the inner bed rails that are to get the paint also. Everything below inside the bed will get Raptor liner in black.

Here a shot of me getting it ready, will shot later this afternoon or lunch time on Friday. Needed to get the temperature up a little in the shop for painting.

chevy88 · 10-20-2011, 08:37 PM

Really nice job on the paint, this isn't your first paint job is it?

**landarts** · 10-21-2011, 06:53 AM

Yes it is my first paint job. Lots of reading, research, asking questions. Then I started with small parts like all the items under the hood and the firewall. I chose to paint the truck in parts. Started with the inside of the cab , then shot the doors, front fenders and hood on the next go around.

I wanted to learn the process so I took the jump.

**landarts** · 10-21-2011, 11:38 AM

Headed back out to the shop to paint the bed now. Had to go to Napa and pickup a different temperature reducer for the base and clear. When I painted a few weeks ago I used the cr734 which has a range from 80 to 100. Temps have drop since then, today its supposed to be around 70-71. Went with the cr732 which has a temp range of 60 to 70, should put me right on the money.

The paint job has used all Napa Crossfire products.

Base coat
clear coat
etching primer
2k surface primer
2k sealer

So far the products have work well and the coverage was great.

**67cheby** · 10-21-2011, 11:45 AM

careful today with that big of a temp difference it changes the whole game !

**landarts** · 10-22-2011, 10:35 AM

Got the bed sealed and the first coat of base on. Found an area that needs to be fixed before I spray the other two coats of base and the clear.

Pictures to follow.

**landarts** · 10-22-2011, 11:27 AM

Here are the pictures from the first coat of base.

**landarts** · 10-22-2011, 11:35 AM

Here is the area that needs to be fixed before going further....see picture

**landarts** · 10-22-2011, 12:25 PM

Here a picture of adding 2k primer surfacer to the area that was low.

**67cheby** · 10-22-2011, 12:23 PM

nice work

VA72C10 · 10-22-2011, 05:19 PM

Looking good!

**landarts** · 10-22-2011, 08:04 PM

Here is the repair made. Clean up and wipe down, get ready to finish the paint on the bed in the morning.

For this repair I taped some mask paper around the area to be repaired so the filler primmer would not get all over everything. Then turned down the fan pattern on the gun and feathered in the filler primer in the area that was low. I had two high power halogen lamps helping with the drying times. Laid down about 4 coats over the low area with about 10 to 15 minutes between coats.

Went back in the house and watched the Boise State football game while thing cured up. Went out at Halftime and added two more dedicated breakers to my electrical panel so that I would have a dedicated for the compressor and a dedicated breaker for all the lights we are using while painting.

Here is a few shots of the repair after wet sanding with 320 and feathering with 800.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 10-23-2011, 12:08 PM

Nice work on the repair spot, good thing you got it before you got too far along.
keep up the good work man!

mjensen · 10-23-2011, 12:41 PM

That looks very nice. I too will be attempting my first paint job on mine...that will probably be in 10 yrs
