How about posting a picture of it. Thats just what I need. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 26 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 26 | That is a sweeeeet paint job. Beautiful. :p | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 | Yeah, looks good huh? Ya know how you take a group of pictures and you pick out the best ones to show? Well....
It came out OK. We had some crap in the compressor lines that did the most damage. The picture posted here is as the paint was flashing off. I put flattener in the mix, so it came out semi-gloss. I'm not happy with alot of my body work, Oh well. I have a Sterling paint rep freind that did the actual shooting, I did everything else. It's not a cab-off, I took the rear fenders off, loosened the fronts,took the tailgate and front bed panel off and all the 'trimmings'.
The color is a Sterling "Matlock green".(poly enamal) Sterling is mostly used on boats. The fender stand is just a "T" with the top horz. bar about 9" long. Kinda have to hold it so it doesn't move around if you shoot with a conventional gun. I'll proably post other pix when I get it back together....thanks for the compliments. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 | Oh yeah...did I mention...paint prep is a pain in the [censored].
