DIY truck paint job. (UNDER 200$!)

[HeadFlowInc]

I can’t even imagine how many hours it took to sand that rough finish down to where it would shine? That paint job had so much orange peel in it; I’ve seen smoother bark on an oak tree! Facts

Looks good for what you had. For everyone talking negative i would love to see their process and the work they have done.

In younger years we'd paint our cars with what we called the 100 dollar paint job. A gallon of tremclad on sale, any old sand paper will do that's on sale, grab a gallon of varsol and give 'er. Well, in the end at least it was all one color. We'd all be back slapping each other saying oh ya that's really

[BlackandWhitecustoms]

Ain't no way you bought tape, primer, plastic, basecoat, clear coat, and reducer for under 200 😂

[speedokoterefinishnetwork]

Thats A LOT of orange peel brother. Always best if your inexperienced with painting and spraying to pick the slowest reducer possible. That way the material can flow out flat on its own . HOWEVER amazing job for what you guys used

[allenedwards]

Thanks alot for showing everybody show to do a classic Tijuana job. You nailed it.😢😜

[SquarebodyLife]

Hope you got all the orange peel sorted out. It’s great you took the initiative in putting some love into this old girl. Best way to learn is to do it. Just prioritize sanding/prepping and gun settings and you’ll be golden

[royandrade]

Way better than before. Good back yard paint job.

[kevinwilliams]

Love color please share paint code and brand. Thanks

[daviddavid]

Sorry to bother you, but could you list your materials and equipment? (I've got two old beaters of my own to paint) Thanks.

Swank. Nice job, Hermano. I don't give a flying blank about the orange peel if it's one tenth the cost of a cheap pro job and it's keeping the rust (and bored troopers) away. That's 1800 bucks worth of shocks and bushings and tires and a carb and bearings and filters and brakes... Besides a lot of orange peel is nowhere near as embarrassing as "Authentic Patina" (Nausea).

[Ezrider]

got to lay that paint down a bit heavier so it wets out and you don't get so much orange peel. that color looks awesome though, nice results for $200

[DanneyTanner]

That blue would look so much nicer with gray primer instead of black.

[randybryant]

That color is amazing it wakes up the whole truck

[chrisgarrard]

Guys, the basecoat doesn't go on very wet and is not supposed to flow-out. The clear is what you want to flow nice and smooth. I Think the base is what you see in the video .Have a great day!!😊

Gotta love the ole bull nose, almost like my 81 f150 300 straight 6 with a 4 speed granny it was originally midnight blue when it was first bought

[smitch]

Dont you just love the EZ boy recliner painters 😂😂😂😂

[GMCTIM]

That's a pretty good job for $200.00 ! Thin the paint for the orange peel, it been a awesome job ! 👍

[barryrainey]

Darn right brother That's a back in the day paint job right there That's the way we used to do it in our garages no spray booth visqueen water the floor.

[masterace]

It's a pretty darn good job for a DIY.
