I wanted to share with ya'll the tailgate I did to get a visual of the old worn out orange paint job I am trying to replicate on my '65 Chevy truck. I figured the inside of the tailgate was a good place to do that.
Starting with a freshly sandblasted tailgate the first step was rolling on (yep, used 4" wide roller) 2 coats of red-oxide primer and then spraying (Rustoleum rattle can) 1 coat of orange top coat.
The links below show photos of what it looks like after sanding with some 320 grit. I need to knock down the gloss in the crevices with some red Scotch-brite pads and maybe scour the entire thing with some Ajax and a scrub brush.
Unconventional... yep. But I am pretty stoked though about how this is turning out.
