Re: Painted My Truck With A Roller


I tried to fill in the rust with wood filler, it wouldnt stay. Caulk didnt work either ...........
I can Bondo it later, I have lots of paint left, in fact instead of washing the truck I can just throw on another coat when it gets dirty.

Teetor,
I swear I remember seeing that car in the late 70s was it in Key West by any chance?

Here's some pics of a '62 Buick Invicta surf wagon that I did back in the '60's.
Nice car, the top carriers really give it some pizzaz Reminds me of the '63 Belair wagon I learned to drive in. It was in pretty tough shape and my dad put woodgrain FBV on the side panels. It had a 283 and a 3 speed on the column, pretty gutless car but I managed to tear the clutch out of it so dad decided it was time to put her to sleep

He was an old man, and was pretty masterful with it, I must admit.
Md, I use a cup gun from time to time in residential work.
and they do a fine job.
the prob may be the overspray...
if that is no concern, well, it's no concern...

Modern, the ranger looks fine. Your prob, w the shell and all, is ranger might live forever and u never get new one to paint !

We had a local artist w a van done in wood grain of different styles..
it was , well, conspicuous... prob was, he went colorblind.
Just to top that, everything he did was original. nuff said.
