Looks good! I like your setup!

 

That turned out really nice! :ford:

 

Looks great... I like the mirrors. They look good on the ex.

 

looks great...i like the chrome wheels on the black truck

 

looks good,if you dont mind what did the materials cost? what kind of spray gun did you use?

 

I think total cost of the materials was about $700. I used the DeVilbiss Starting Line 3 gun kit. I put 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear for more depth.

looks like u got a little bit of orange peel or is it just your camera

Yea, got a little orange peel on it, and a couple of runs. That's why I am going to color sand and buff it. Not really looking forward to that, but it will look 100% better when it's done.


Thanks for all the compliments guys. I've picked up alot of cool stuff from this site.

wow looks great good job man!

 

Wish I knew how to body paint like that or somebody that did. One thing I never took the time to learn and really wish I had. Body work and painting.:doh:

Orange peel should come out glass smooth with the proper amount of color sanding.

 

Looks great.

 

nice work, that will be flat as glass when your done with the wetsanding and buffing
you will want to sand the runs out first, if your careful you can use a razorblade.

 

looking great!

 

Nice Job!

Nice job. Gave me flashbacks of doing mine last fall. The orange peal on mine isn't very noticeable, and not worth the effort of color sanding. LOL

 

:drool: looks good

 

I did some painting this weekend. I have some orange peel but it should sand out.
My ignorance what is color sanding?
That EX looks sweet. Nice work.

 

Color sanding is exactly what you are going to do. It just means you are sanding the color coat of your paint. Be very careful on corners and sharp edges, two swipes of sanding and you can go right through to the primer. I just ordered the liquid ice system from Eastwood. I'm going to give that a shot and see how it goes.

 

Thanks. I always just call it wet sanding. Was not sure if there was somthing i was missing. I like to wet sand between coats. The painting i did came out rather well. 3 coats paint wet sand after last coat, 3 coats clear wetsand and buff.

 

I still have sanding flashbacks.

Bare metal, mud, top coat, top coat, top coat, primer, primer, color, color, color,
Sanding at the commas.
If you know how to sand and shoot paint. That procedure will give you a ####-hot looking paint job. It also makes you want to not do a paint job for at least 6 months perhaps a year

 

wow that is one sweet family hauler lol

that looks bad ass

 

That looks amzing bro! Nice job! I even like the vents! What kind of lift/suspension did you go with? Size tires and wheels?

 

I have a 6" BDS suspension, springs in the front and blocks in the back. Rims are 20x9 with 35x12.50 Toyo MT's. Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

Looks good. Mine is getting painted this week. Doors just got back on today. Lots of surface on these things huh!

 

OMG! You are not kidding! I think my fingers are going to be half an inch shorter from all the phucking sanding I did, and am about to do.

 

I went a bit overboard. It was a full tare down. All doors off. all glass out. Most of the interior. It's been an after work project for a week now. Should have all the graphics done tonight ( I hope ) then start to clear in the morning. I'm not EVEN looking forward to color sanding this thing! Really not looking forward to putting all back together. Should be worth it though.
