Well... As with most other black rams, my roof is oxidizing beyond belief. Also my bedrails, top of tailgate, and now the hood on driver's side near windshield. What's the easiest way to repaint... Anyway to do it on the cheap? or will I have to take it in to the paintshop?

 

If the base coat (black) is still in good shape, you could wet sand the clear smooth and respray with several coats of clear. It will not be professional, but it won't cost $3k either.

 

^ +1 just make sure you fallow the 6 to 8 inch rule and dont spray the **** outta it an inch away and let it run, clearcoat dries alot quicker than paint and it's not as easy to sand down if you make a mistake

 

Craig, the hood is an easy fix.

1. remove hood
2. sand down to primer (or metal)
3. prime
4. shoot base
5. shoot clear

I did my hood several months ago and it took 1 solid day. Pics are here... http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?...pid=404015&ck=

 

this is what i did............ it a cheap fix like 20 bucks if i remeber

that looks weird as hell dude

 

Thanks dude!!

 

lol didnt say it looks bad, just looks strange ? is there a pattern to it or is it just primer black ?

 

thats the best way of doing it, if you shoot clear over the original paint it will A: either looks oxidized as before or B: lift off and look worse than before

if you are thrifty (who isnt nowadays?) go to lowes or some were like that and get some glossy rustolem spray paint scuff up the paint really good with a grey scotchbright or wet 400 grit sandpaper and go to town spraying several light coats, it prolly wont last as long as a good repaint but it could save you $1-2000
