well,,, as some here wanted the 99.00 rollon job,,, here is a 75.00 spray on,, without a booth

used 5 disc's of 50grit sand paper, 1gal primer, 3/4 gal ppg single stage paint.

i got the paint for 20 bucks on the discount trash bin at the paint store (most paint places have these sitting out)... got the reducer and hardener from a buddy.

total 75.00,,, did it in my back yard when everyone was at work. lol

i only have 3hours in so far,,and thats with drying time.. heres some pictures





















it will blend in with the grass now,, ill do the rest of it tomorrow

I like the truck but why leave the wipers on?

[sandmanjoe]

because its gonna rain tonight,,, the truck is out in the street right now. lol

[sandmanjoe]

the end result is pretty good for a few hours work and under 100 bucks,,, im just going to paint over the holes and come back to them in 10 years or so

[70KGOLD]

Put some duct tape over the holes, last a long time.

i was thinking he should use the foil tape for the holes.

[sandmanjoe]

you start to fill one hole,,, then you end up doing a frame off... this way is less work and none of that nasty bondo dust.

hey that foil tape is some good stuff,, but i like spray foam,, you can fill 6in by 6in holes with that and bondo right over it.

for larger holes i use some thin aluminum siding, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

50 grit?? On a DA?? Looks like a $37.50 paint job to me.
Paint the rest and get your $75 worth.

[sandmanjoe]

gave that foil idea a try,,, then i glassed it and hit it with some bondo

[sandmanjoe]
