Painted three trucks yesterday

[ranchhopper]

What paint did you use? Outstanding job on painting by the way!

I used the type 1 CARC the older type I like it better than the waterbased type.

This week I am on vacation from work so time to get the 53 studebaker ready for parade season. Monday I prepped and painted a hard top for it the old one was beyond repair and I got the sound deadining insulation on the rear of the cab as seen in the pics the hummer seats look like they belong in there and real comfortable they are put on springer bases. Yesterday the 53 studebaker, 1009 and 1008 got new coats of CARC the 1009 got a new civi hood the old one was cracked and seperated man its nice to pull the hood release and it pops like it was designed to. The 1008 has a civi hood sitting on stands all painted and ready to go I have not got the help today to get it put on so the old junk one is still on the truck in the pics. It took from seven AM to seven PM yesterday to get them all done I was a tired old guy last night. Now I have one more 1008 and a 63 studebaker-packard deuce to do in the next couple weeks I even got the gun dialed in good enough not much masking was required to minimize the overspray.

Great job ...I have 57 on my bridge plates to.

Nice work Kevin. You should have CARC'd your wifes car while you were at it! You are more motivated than me, that's for sure!

She is lucky she was at work or the overspray might have dulled the finish a bit.
