    Like I said earlier the truck was in pretty good shape. Most of the loose rust was removed with wire wheel in a drill. Then I primed with a rattle can primer. The heave rust an loose paint were removed with a needle scalier.

    The stencils were cut from vinyl. I have a vinyl cutter at my disposal so it saved me money so that I didn't have to buy any. The stencils have an adhesive on the back that holds them in place. After I put them in position I used a plastic squeegee to make sure all the surfaces were down. So...

    A paint job, at home.

    I'm the one in the photo spraying the truck. HVLP gun with a 20 gallon compressor I used about 40 psi so there wasn't much overspray. The truck is not strong enough plus you don't want it running for hours. The masking takes the longest but it was not hard to spray. There are a few small...
