Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

Got a few more parts painted. Figured out how to control the spray speed and "weight" a little better to not get so much orange peel. My last can did run out early but i got everything at least covered. I'm pretty confident that if I had a real compressor and a decent gun that I could do a pretty legit paint job!



A few spots did get some weird bubbles in them. Not sure why. Maybe I was laying it on too heavy? Or maybe just the crappy rattle cans. Anyway, its good enough for this Big Ugly beast.



I'll let these rest for a day or so and then bolt 'em up on Saturday morning. Now it'll be down to only three colors!
