Jwill41 · 05-24-2007, 07:32 PM

its hard to tell much about it but here is one of mine in the paint booth. It is rattle can red oxide with 3 coats of clear from a gun. I call it "cinamon" brown.

any clue what color that blue bug is painted.... im guessing its the HotRod Flatz blue pearl?? maybe

Spray-Bomb · 05-24-2007, 08:05 PM

All I know is that it's HotRod Flatz

FlatBrokeRacing · 05-24-2007, 08:16 PM

This is what I have done on mine soo far...

HF gravity feed spray gun and had a local paint supply house add a flattner to a single stage top coat paint.It turned out just how I wanted it to...

where you at in montgomery?

WinDancer · 05-25-2007, 01:17 AM

I have the same feeling about the flat paint as I do the spray-in bedliners... after a little dirt aren't they just impossible to keep clean? Not being negative or a smart-A$$- just want to know.
Muddy footprints in the Linex liners just keep staying and staying....
The flat or very semigloss is a knockout- but????
Thanks

powell72 · 05-25-2007, 05:09 PM

They're just as easy to keep clean as a gloss black paint job(which isn't actually very easy). It's the texture on a bed liner that makes them so hard to keep clean. Depending on what you're using for paint the flat does stain pretty east though.

FlatBrokeRacing · 05-25-2007, 05:15 PM

OJOE,
Perry Hill / Harrison Rd. area...

Longhorn Man · 05-25-2007, 05:49 PM

I did mine in semi gloss this time becouse my last one was impossible to keep clean, and when you did clean it, you had to scrub it. Real PITA.

**special-K** · 06-11-2007, 07:10 AM

Here`s a couple naturals:

I have some old steel lawn furniture that I sandblasted and primed with DP90.It rained over the weekend between the blasting and primer.It got just a light film of rust(in a shed)that I scuffed before shooting primer.I saw some bleed through and I hit it with Permatex rust treatment before spray bombing with either Krylon,Rustoleum,etc. to get my desired colors.Three or four years later they`re all faded with bit`s of surface rust showing.I was thinking thisis just what a guy wants for that patina look.Just gotta be patient and use crappy paint.

JHART · 06-11-2007, 07:18 AM

who ever owns this truck i just want to say its my fav

Just wish i had the ballz to drop mine. Have any more pics of this one? What did you use to paint it? I'm thinkin about going flat black also ....

northerngmc · 06-11-2007, 02:26 PM

Thanks,

NitroMike · 06-15-2007, 06:04 PM

I really like the Hot Rod Flatz paints. Real easy to use. I would suggest that if you are going for an "usual" color (other than the normal black or grays) that you buy a quart from them to check the color. Even their chip chart isn't much help. I bought a gallon of Carnival Red, but can't use it because it looks lavender next to my Hot Rod red wheels. On it's own it is an awesome color . . . just not what I expected from the color chips.

SCOTI · 06-15-2007, 07:08 PM

Yeah, I figured the color 'chips' may not be the same in person vs. the monitor. I might just do the quart thing & shoot a test panel.
