Default What do you think of my fix for a rusty roof and hood?

The roof paint had all peeled off and it rusted through the primer I had to take it down to bare metal. I had pint of color matched paint so I shot it with rattle can primer and resprayed with a cheap hvlp gun in my driveway. Only a few small bugs landed in the wet paint [:@]

I didnt have enough paint to do the hood so I taped it off trying to emulate the challenger. Everywhere you see black on the hood the old paint was peeling and cracked that is how I got the lines also. This is just rattle can flat black.

How did I do?[sm=feedback.gif]

2004 before it started to peel






I'm not sure If I like it or not.
I do like this much better

I think it looks good. Blends the tints to the black cap as well. Good job.

Looks good. Especially for a driveway job.

Looks pretty good considering its a spray can. What is your color called? I've never seen it on a Ram.

The flat black on the hood is the spray can.
The roof I shot with my hvlp spray gun.
It an old forest service truck from Oregon state.
I'm not sure of the color name Safety green maybe?

This is what it looked like when I picked it up in 2002.
