Eagle_Adam Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Unless you are a wizard with spray cans, flat black is hard to lay even looking. I would do plasti-dip... So ive been told,im still gunna lay down black paint Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I painted mine matte black with an actual automotive paint and gun. Never painted a vehicle before so I made rookie mistakes, but overall it looks good. I'm going to strip it all down and do the body work to it in the future anyhow, so it's no big deal Quote Link to comment

Janksun Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Eagle. If you buy a cheap spray gun and some flat black paint, it will lay on a lot better than spray can stuff. Quote Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Adam, I have a brand new HVLP gun, a DA sander and a good compressor for when you get the space to paint figured out. Give me a holler when the day comes. Also, I just finished up the vector files for the 620/521 tailgate letters. The neon green vinyl I have looks like a match for the wheel color... :D Weld the bed seams, fender seams, and cab corners before paint? I've got a Lincoln mig :devil: I'd drive that volvo.

Eagle_Adam Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Sweet, I will want a set of those tail gate letters!! As for the tool, pm me pics and prices. I don't mind putting them in storage for a bit ;) Quote Link to comment
