Glen's budget rebuild

[CTENG in KS]

maybe ask kneedownnate, hes the "boat" tech

Doesn't he do the mechanicals?

I used to refinish yachts in college...fun job, bad pay, but I got to spend my weekends out on the docks so it was kool.  That Interlux is some tough paint and when it gets worn it can be sanded and makes great primer for the next coat.

Now that I think of it, I kinda wish I had used it on mine.

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

  That's a nice offer, but you think maybe you should PM me about money things and get your truck finished?

If you build it, I would like to come down and get it..November this year enough time.. That way you and I can do some wheeling together, and maybe get karen really hooked...


P.S. would that be a stick or an auto?....I have not grown that third leg yet.

  Yes it's GREAT for tight hard climbs...one less pedal to use plus it picks the right gear everytime and never blows a shift... D 2 1.  works everytime.

[Mistaken]

search youtube for 20 dollar paint job or it may be 50 dollar paint job. an interesting option for you.

[Jordan7118]

Yea, but I might've switched up some stuff if yours was available  It's all good, though.

On a side note, I'm gettin' that 4Runner but still not sure what I'll do with it. SAS or part out    Only time will tell 

[79coyotefrg]

Honestly, I've read up as much as I can on that method and couldn't for the life of me see the benefit vs. spraying.  The work between coats seems to be excessive.  Spraying is fairly simple and offers an easier way to get better coverage.  But that's just my opinion, and I'm nowhere near a good painter!

[Mistaken]

i paint as a hobby and wouldn't use that method either but thought it might be a good option seeing as it is going to be on the trails alot. i think it took one of the guys on youtube a week to paint thier car that way.

[79coyotefrg]

a WEEK 

[topar]

I used brushes and rollers and paint from Wallyworld.  I painted the frame and axles at one point and the cab another time last was the flatbed and exo.  Just painted as it came to that point in the build.  I could not tell you how long it took.  Easy to touch up with brush and rollers however next time everything will be one color.  It was a pain to do the exo. I voted for keeping it simple.

[Colt]

Last night I tried the brush and roller thing... man this was a mess.


For this somewhat of black I needed more than 2 1/2 hours...


I try it again with the upside of the body.  Perhaps it will work better on smoother surfaces?

[skipnrocks]

it almose looks like underbody or bedliner!   

[Colt]

it was really thick... and it was cold, so there are lots of tears But it doesn`t matter. If someone see the truck upside down this should be my least problem   

[skipnrocks]

     thats true...  should get one of those stickers for that...

  the ENGINE  IS OKAY   it runs
