(It just stormed here yesterday/last night so I didn't have a chance to get a pic before it got nasty but this is how the outside of the truck looks)

I looked and the reflections are awesome. There must be more to this story.

 

[xtremekustomz]

LOL yeah. I just painted the truck about 2 weeks ago and color sanded and buffed. Actually this is my first paintjob.

Looks good man. I think we need more of the "Brag" from click and brag though.



Post your process to paint, polish, etc. You are definitely talented with a spray gun. :2thumbs:

 

[GlossyTundra]

Love the truck, but I hate hate the title of your post. Just post up what your vehicle is, leave those stars at home.



Wanna come re-paint my truck?

 

[xtremekustomz]

You will have to see my interior pics when I get it all together. I've got some new leather Katzkin covers going on and I have a complete fiberglass interior including dash, console, kick panels, amp rack, and cd player console. I hope to have most of it done by the end of next week.



Paint Process:



Body Work:

To start with I went around and found all dents and rock chips. I ended up replacing both bedsides on the truck because it had been used as a work truck.

Next I sanded the truck down and applied Evercoat UroFill primer.

The next process was to remove front end and door so I could trim everything in.



After that I moved to the outside and started painting. I then proceded with 2000 grit paper and color sanded the whole truck. When I got through color sanding I went back over the whole truck with 3M Rubbing compound with a somewhat aggressive foam pad followed by 3M Polishing compound with a light foam pad. I'm still waiting on my Porter Cable PC to come in so I can completely finish the polishing process. After that I'll end up putting on a glaze and wax.

Man, you really didn't cut any corners. I can't wait for the interior pictures!

xtremekustomz- Looks good! Always nice to see somebody doing a big job like that the right way :xyxthumbs



Is that the one where you had some issues attaining the final finish?

 

[xtremekustomz]

Yeah, thats it. I'm waiting on my polisher to come in so I can get the holograms out. I'm probably going to wait a few more weeks and let the paint cure a little longer though.

 

[xtremekustomz]

Not meaning to crossover to another site, but this is my other truck. Well, it use to be, I sold it back in December and started on this new one. I have alot of pictures of some things that I have done there.

Extremely nice work. Great to see someone strip things down and do it right...certainly not the norm these days. Again "very nice"!

 

[Scottwax]

Nice to see someone actually take their vehicle down like that to paint it properly. :bow

 

[Accumulator]

Yeah, your attention to detail is a refreshing change from what one normally sees these days :xyxthumbs

Nice work on the painting and buffing of the paint. Especially black.



I started off with silver.



Painting and buffing gets easier with experience. Looks like you are off to a darn good start though.:up

 

[Kriminal]

Amazing work bud....I just wish I had your skills - I'd spray paint everything

 

[xtremekustomz]

I appreciate the comments. I have painted some small things before but like I said this was my first overall. Funny thing is that I've got 2 people that want me to paint theirs now. Today I ended up color sanding and buffing my dash, console, and amp rack. I wanted to get some pictures of it but I didn't have my camera over at the shop. I also go one of my leather seat covers on my passenger seat (and a job it was). I was going to do the rear seat tonight but I'm about wore out LOL
