Its from TCP. Found them on ebay... I did some looking around and they seem to have ok feedback... Good enough paint for my DD.. Well see, if it turns out well Ill probably post a thread in the FAQ.. doesnt seem anyone around here as done that yet for such a popular paint...

Sick5 · 04-06-2011, 05:21 PM

Tinkermc · 07-23-2012, 10:12 PM

will keep watching to see how that paint does

BadaSs_Cal · 03-09-2013, 07:53 PM

Haven't updated in awhile, but truck pretty much sits as it was.

Life sure did change, I started a small 4 acre boat and project storage for do it yourselfer guys like me to work on their projects.

And picked up this little beauty in a trade. Runs alright. 351e V6. 4 speed.

Fun to drive.

Then over 3 days cleaned it up real quick. Used TCP single stage Urethane. Looks good enough for a DD. Lots of orange peel, a few drips. Im a rookie, what can I say.
