Thanks, the only problem is the dry time between each coat is 16hours and your supposed to wet sand in between each coat. but the upside is its cheap as hell.

I'm okay for the time one has to wait...where'd you ge the roll-on paint?

Here in the South, we have a Sherman-Williams paint store...do you believe I could get some of that thar roll-on thar?

Haha....

Also, is the roll-on paint just called "roll-on" or is there another designation?

Thanks

That is the link to were I got the paint. It is actually a boat paint. It can be sprayed on to but its just easier to roll on. I found this over on the TTORA website.

Other than the cheap price and the easy application, is there any other benefits to using this paint?

Actually for the smaller areas I used a small foam brush.

Paint looks killer

Those seats are nice, let us know how they bolt in. I might be looking for a set if they are fairly easy to get in.

No, Ive been slacking on finishing it. My last two weekends the weather has been to cold so im waiting for some warm weather before I finish it.

Very nice rig What a transformation!!

Keep up the good work

AaronB · « **Reply #142 on:** Mar 30, 2007, 08:28:40 PM »

Thanks Guys, but I think things are going to change.
I just picked up a really clean 88' runner now my dilemma is what do I do. Should I swap everything over to the runner or not.

Pros:
Runner has more room for me (6'1") and the family
brand new 22re
i always wanted one

Cons:
swapping everything
little extra $ to get the parts that are needed
time I put into the truck

what do you guys think?

You have any pics of the final product? I'd like to see how it looks now that you're done. Pics on a bright day shot out of direct sunlight seem to show the best results on paint jobs. I saw the dark bug that dude painted and was very surprised

Aaron,I really like your first gen but I'd probably swap everything on to the Runner because of the family.Otherwise I'd keep your truck,it's turning out sick!!!

Yeah I think if the budget allows, ill keep the truck but with a different drivetrain.
