| | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 28 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 28 | I am in the process of sandblasting my cab now and am looking for ideas on paint. I am building a working truck (48 3/4 ton) and I don't want a shiney looking paint job. I am going for a used / weathered / antique look but I want a tough paint that will stand up to some abuse. I am thinking of some type of hammered or antique looking dark red. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | .....a broom and some deck paint. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | get some epoxy primer tinted red - good protective water proof flat finish

A truck shouldn't be too pretty, just nice enough.
