So here she is....what do ya think? :D It was dark so I will have to take more pics in the daylight. Now check out how the flames apear in the next pics Cool Huh??

Phlebmaster Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I painted her today. I still have to sand it down in a couple of days with 2000 grit sand paper to get the best look. I love the smell of fresh paint! :D Check out the glowing bullit :D Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yep...those pics are about 10 minutes after the final spray. I will be finish sanding her in a couple of days and then adding a clear coat. Keep in mind, this is a rattle can job. :eek: Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 i did some editing on that last post please read.. also rattle can? no shit.. great work.. Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 from a frickn rattle can , no :poop:, I got to say that don't loook half bad, cant wait to see what it will look like after the sanding, also I like the flame job :thumbup: but you did miss a few small dents,,, Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 +1 Nice Job!!! No over spray! Snap! That's just plain awesome, what brand paint are you using? Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 from a frickn rattle can , no :poop:, I got to say that don't loook half bad, cant wait to see what it will look like after the sanding, also I like the flame job :thumbup: but you did miss a few small dents,,, Thanks!! As far as the dents...I tried bondo and failed terribly. :o So I decided to let them stay. :lol: Nice thing about rattle can jobs is they can be redone very inexpensively. I may try the bondo thing again later with a little help. I used Krylon True Blue for the main paint color. I used a Krylon specialty bright silver paint (this is what makes the bullit and flames reflective), and a special blue anodized look paint for the blue candy over coat. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wow i like the glowing flames on the hood alot!!! & congrats on getting her running good again. TY for the vid & nice idle :D Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Sounds and looks mean for sure now. Great job. Larry Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks guys! I will be wet sanding her this weekend with 2000 grit and polishing compound to smooth the paint out. Then a couple coats of wax and she will shine like a gem. :D Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well here are the pics after my polishing job...you would never know it was a rattle can job now. :D Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 That's what I'm talking about! My truck next? Haha Looking great!!!! I'm doing the opposite, no sanding, lots of over spray, thin in lots of places, gives it the patina I've always wanted.. haha Had to add this, I do not know how you sanded 'em dented areas (rear corner in the bed), but they look as good if not better than the rest of the truck, looks stock!
