this may begin next year, we'll see

if i can get all my dents out, i'll proceed to painting my truck.

I wanna do a deep Satin red paintjob, and most likely gold flakes.


what's needed to do a satin paint job?

 

Satin paint satin clear. A spray gun might help. Haha seriously it's pretty easy. I'll be spraying my 48 chevy satin red sometime next year too.

 

Well are you guna rattle can it? or actual automotive sh!t??

 

my cousin just did a pt cuiser in satin black. He used an average base/clear (valspar I think) with a flattening agent. Looks like a flat black hot rod, with ease of base clear.

somthing along the lines of (FAO1) on this page...

go get the paint at napa! I work there part time aside from the machine shop and im sure you;ll find it cheap there. Ill see if I can find the paint code and ill get back to you.

 

spray paint, did the fender/grill in controlled conditions


used 5 cans, cost me $20


took about 3hrs.





i just wanted it one color, real paint is down the road.

 

I used rustoleum flat protective enamel for my 2wd valance and my grille/ corner lights. gunna proceed blacking out my door handles and window trim.




thanks for the various info

 

Rusto flat clear lays down like crap. every time i use it i get a lot of instant dried over spray

 

hmm, flat clear, like, it turns gloss into flat?

 

Kinda

 

more like a semi-gloss or satin
