why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
bees, hornets and other bugs love my yellow truk
sometime i get swarmed by bees when i park it outside i washed my truk the other day, wiped it down in the garage and came out the next day to find ''spots'' all over it washed it again and same thing happened, then i noticed over 100 hornets in the window above truk the little b@stards are dead now, i found their nest in the garage block wall 50 ft away

Re: why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
Wonder why yellow is one of the most expensive colors of paint?

Re: why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
I used to sell paint years ago. Yellow is one of the hardest colors to get to cover and also one of the hardest to cover with another color.

Re: why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
yellow is a PITA. I painted an upstairs bedroom in our house yellow, it was white. 4 coats of expensive paint later I can still see the overlaps and stuff.

Re: why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
The Pain, The Pain, In reading this! My Heart is set on painting my 58 Cameo
Corvette Yellow and plan on painting it myself. I just got done blasting the cab and my inner metal bedsides and used Squeegs Epoxy Primer on the cab and panels and it is "Yellow" laying down that primer itself I thought i was going "Snow Blind" Dang it. Allen by the way,Ogre and NickZ Love that "YELLOW" Watch out were those Husky's go and don't you eat that Yellow Snow! Last edited by 58CameoAZ; 09-30-2016 at 09:56 AM. |

Re: why you shouldn't paint your truck yellow
this reminds me of the very first hot rod I looked at to buy; it was yellow. as I walked up to it, I saw all these black marks all over it, from a distance it looked like some special painting, but as I got close it was full of bugs!!! the owner said, sorry, this is why I'm selling. I passed!!!
