I get my truck painted in roughly two weeks and i have got to find some good paint that wont break my bank. Ill need a gallon of red (OUCH) and a gallon of clear as well. What have you gotten and what do ypu recomend? If i cant get help i may get screwed lol
Thanks guys

 

Summit Racing. They have a really close red and it`s a good product,so says the guy that painted my truck and the guys on TRUCKS also had good things to say.They used the Summit stuff on project super dually.
I bought 1 gallon and 1 quart of paint and all the clear and hardner and fish eye eliminator for $120 or so more than I would have payed for just 1 gallon of PPG red and they`ll ship a color chart for free

 

what is the code of this red? thank you for responding

 

Dupont Nason 2K I painted 3 cars with it so far, and doing #4 right now. As a matter of fact, I just came in from coat #2!

Google it

It's single stage, Polyurathane. Covers very well, flows great. You won't need clear. It lays down like enamel, and is tough as hell.

I just suggest you add a dot of flex agent to prevent chipping.

 

Not sure on the code but I think its called "bright red"

 

lets talk brass tax ya'll lol
how much for summit?
how much for nason?

 

I can't tell you exact on the Nason, but I get a gallon of blue poly, reducer, hardner and a gallon of lacqure thinner for about $285 or was it 335. Don't remember and don't look anymore.

Shop it on line. You can probably do better

 

I'm thinking about painting my entire truck with bed liner(rubber coating), anyone ever do this before?

 

I seen this before and it reminded me of a truck I once had seen that had extensive smoke damage!

 

in some places it looks good like bumpers, molding and wheel trim, maybe even the bottom two tone place (like under the molding). whole truck looks awful imo. now if its a beater....thumbs up

 

I used omni. Also make you sure you have good equipment. I had a gravity feed HVLP but not a good enough compressor to run it. Old timer told me I need a gravity feed conventional for my compressor. I believe him now; small panels look amazing but truck is orange peeled overall. Maybe be if I would have litely sanded before clear. But I was really happy with Omni.

 

 

that does look good man.
im gonna investigate on it for sure

 

youve got a little toe-in with that back tire there boss.

 

Yeah I just installed rear disc brakes. That wheel was gravity bleeding. That's a 62 Chrysler New Yorker. I have a 62 300H and looking to invest in a 62 wagon.

Just so you guys know, my paint dealer, didn't mix the paint right. He left out the metalics. I had to sand that and repaint it, which I did the other day. By the camera, it looks the same in that light. Ahhh he's 72. It happens
