Do ya'll actually think it looks better painted with a roller. I'd rather have the worn old paint. It adds character. you could have touched it up and waxed it.

The red roller job shouts back woods redneck.

motornut · 06-23-2011, 11:58 AM

with the peeling cracking and over spray....yup
Can't get any more redder......
up here weathered and worn gets rusty
oh and up here blue and white is leafs colours (truck bought about an hour from Toronto)(it's a hockey thing)
and i'm saving it, being a Sens fan (red, black, and white) Ottawa about 6 hours away
Toronto has 11 Stanley Cups since 1927 - none since 1967
Ottawa has 11 Stanley Cups from 1917 - 1934 - none since BUT we didn't have a team from 1934 to 1992

hi John,

what do you mean with "I'm gona try thinning the top coats(after 3/100s)"?
I dont understand

motornut · 06-23-2011, 04:45 PM

3 coats at 100%
then try to thin it out to 80% paint

motornut · 06-26-2011, 11:19 PM

after days of rain we got some sun today
got first coat pass side door and rear
second coat front fenders,hood,drivers door and rear fender

motornut · 06-27-2011, 04:40 PM

didn't go so well
not sure maybe cause i was painting late maybe the dew screwed the shine?

kikkegek · 06-28-2011, 09:01 AM

why?
it doesnt look bad besides the orangepeel skin on pic 3 from the top.

You can get rid of the orangepeel by sanding (if the caot is thick enough) and you can bring the shine up by buffing and polishing the paint...

motornut · 06-28-2011, 10:24 AM

this is the second coat
i'm doing three for sure,
but i'm still seeing blue lol so it might be four
and lol and a "bug pick n sand" between

when i've done it in the past it's been outside and starting early morning
to dry all day
not finish at dusk,would cut down on the UFOs
Unidentified Foreign Objects

under a rain delay today

motornut · 07-01-2011, 08:36 AM

got the second coat now on most of it
cept under the headlights

white under the GMC factory or otherwise?
i wondered if it was another gate that was white before

motornut · 07-01-2011, 08:44 AM

woke up to dew but i think it's fine

kikkegek · 07-01-2011, 01:20 PM

nice! I cant waite to get started over here!

I got the advise over here to use a wood flooring roller. These have short hard hairs. This way it does not suck up too much paint and doesnt stick too much, thus causing less orange peal...makes sense?

I'll post some pick when I get some results...

thanks for the update john!

motornut · 07-03-2011, 09:08 AM

did some quick work on the lettering
the GMC is gona take some work to get that out

motornut · 07-03-2011, 09:25 AM

did a quick 3rd coat on the hood and some other dull spots and the top of the box

motornut · 07-03-2011, 09:31 AM

i paid about 6 bucks for the red tray and and roller and two rolls
but then went to the dollar store and found them cheaper
havn't had the foam rollers fall apart but the paper ones yes

motornut · 07-03-2011, 09:45 AM

then drove the guys downtown to the hill

motornut · 07-03-2011, 09:49 AM

slight hue difference with the third coat on top of the box sides
get the shine right and BAM worth a million bucks lol

kikkegek · 07-03-2011, 12:44 PM

I think it looks absolutely fine!

good job Jonh!

motornut · 07-05-2011, 06:04 PM

gee got a few scratches
thats ok cause it still needs two more coats
out on tour found a few buildings moving today

79beater · 07-05-2011, 09:32 PM
