Beginning the paint job/Few odd Projects
#21
Well I have access to "Factory Matched" Rattle cans from my local parts store. If you guys have ever heard of "PlastiKote" Its not to bad if for durability if you do it right. My door jams are already all red so thats why I'm going to paint the truck red.
If I do go with the paint roller I'll just go pick up a gallon or so of paint thats matched to my original paint code. It'll be close enough lol.

That doesn't look half bad at all. Some obvious orange peel going on but aside from that its good and solid colour. I'm gonna seriously consider going this approach since my current goal is to get the truck primed completely before I go crazy which should take me a couple weeks of playing weekend warrior with the painting n such.
Did you use any primer at all or did you just sand and paint?

It looks 100x better than it did in 4 colors + bondo

@T.C. I thought about black but I personally have a thing for red trucks lol.
@JR318 I considered rockguarding the entire truck lol. But like I just said I have a thing for red :P!
Update: So I peeled off all the old factory pinstripe took of the fender flares and once the rain lets up a bit I'll be sanding down the rear fenders. Maybe I'll post some pics to lol.

I can get it through Home Depot this I know but I'd end up paying like 20-30$ per can since they'd be "Special Order"
I'm going to try napa when I have time to get out there. They apparently sell it also according to Plastidips website.
