well i went down today  with the  intention  of putting speakers  in the doors  well while looking for a screw driver  i  thought hmm i need  more light,  so  i FINALLY  wired in the other light  at the back of the shop

after that  i started back to what i was doing and while  looking at the door  for the best place  to  put the speaker  i realized  the rust hole in the fender bothered me  so  i pulled the fender back off  i used  a small hammer  to  straighten the dents  and then  worked on the rust








yea  its bad blurry  but you get the idea

[79coyotefrg]

VMAN  i see you looking,  heres the truck  i will biuld  for you  if you want a truggy , the 2wd,  converted to 4wd  for ya

[Cheesemaker]

I'm with ya Glen, every time I went to work on my truck, I would go out to accomplish one thing and end up tackling something else!  But it's all got to be done!

[79coyotefrg]

i couldnt keep my marbles  in a row at all,  but  thats about normal these days

[79coyotefrg]

 i painted the fender, and it looked  AWESOME,   went to spray a clear coat  and it made it look like

i was so   i had  to  sand it all back down 

[Cheesemaker]

Clear coats tend to show all the flaws!

it made it look milky  and  orange peeled 

[Toymin8r]

you didn't let the other paint dry all the way

[Willy Mammoth]

it made it look milky  and  orange peeled 

Was it cold out or humid? And what are you using for paint and clear.

Is this a metalic color, if not skip the clear.

He lives in Arkansas, it's winter, it's cold, it's always humid. When and if I paint my truck it will not be a gloss finish.

[skipnrocks]

Too thick a coat will cause a creamy look too wont it?

[79coyotefrg]

thanks Mark, yea  it was humid  my friend Jason came over and looked at my elocker  today  and i asked him since i hadnt checked here yet,  he  said  it  was too humid  for a clear coat,  he  said  for what  i was  doing it would look better without a clearcoat,  so  then  NO CLEAR COAT

yea its  just a  Royal Blue,  from a can,  it  looked  awesome  till i tried to clearcoat 

[Willy Mammoth]

Did it wrinkle when you cleared it? Ask AJ about that. He had that happen. You have to be carefull with enamel spray paint and coating back over it, it will sometimes lift.

Also if you use a two part polyurethane, it won't be effected by humidity or cold temps down to about 50*. Colder than that and you will have a hard time keeping it on the truck.

Lacquer has a tenancy to get milky or frost up due to humidity or cold temps.

but  to be honest  is  it  worth the trouble??   i mean  you guys know how i wheel, i dont like  body damage  but paint  damage  kinda is the norm

Tougher paint and more stable for those times you need to fix a boo boo.

[baldwookie]

durabak it spray on rhino type coating,  u can get a smooth finish or the rough, it sprays on with a normal paint sprayer,or try that roll on boat paint... looks super easy.. and doesnt look too bad

[skipnrocks]

That stuff is sweet but can you fix it if it peels or gets scratched off?

That was house paint Ha Ha getto camo! Ha Ha Could you imagine trying to repaint the whole truck?

[YotaJosh]

Boat paint!!! Seriously, Interlux Brightside is a high gloss roll on paint that smooths out real well. Search over on TTORA for it to see the "roll on paint job" thread, and check out the results. Being near Degray, some of the boat shops in town can probably get it for you.

Yep, good stuff.  Don't use clear on boats cause the salt water will take that crap right off, so the poly paint is all that goes on.

When my paint wrinkled up I had to sand that whole section back down...only way to get it to stop.

maybe ask kneedownnate, hes the "boat" tech
