Before / After Pics

Thought you guys would like to see how my duece truned out. I added a couple of personal touches, but still pretty close.

 

[CanonNinja]

what kind of paint did you use?

 

[sak00]

Cheap, cheap ,cheap. Home Depot Rust-o-leum Camo paint.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I think it looks pretty darn good.

 

[WillWagner]

That looks great. I like the way you blended the stars in.

[Swede]

Love that Rustoleum! I had to special order the medium brown to match my truck, but yours looks real nice with the earth brown. Looks like I need to change my brown paint next touch up job. That 3 color camo vinyl top looks great also! Is that a stock Deuce cover, or did you have to cut down and sew up a larger cover? Mine is cut and sew, looks OK, but is sure does not look as good as yours does! My only suggestion - paint those wheels flat black!

Nah, I like the colored wheels. I think the pattern calls for them that way. I'm glad to see someone use the Rustoleum paint. I've been painting my Airsoft gear with the spray bombs for a while and I did the tail end of my M715 in the OD color over a red oxide primer base and I thought it came darn close to 383 green myself. When I find the right Ramcharger I will use that paint to do a 3 color camo job on it.

I did it in stages and the spray bombs did a great job. I would have liked the brown a little lighter, but I got what I could. The pattern does call for the wheels to be flat black, but I liked the green better. And I think I remember years ago they painted one of the wheel a different color. Anyway I thought black was too bland. I think it turned out alright.
The cargo cover is "supposed to be" stock. I didn't have to do any retrofit. I got it from a junkyard in Live Oak, FL. He just happened to have one. I had to fix the seams in a couple of places and I'm not to sure how they will hold, but I thought for $50 I couldn't go wrong.
I saw in the patten that the stars were suppose to blend opposite of the other colors. I love how the driver's door turned out. I may re-do the pass. side just to get more color in the star. "Maybe".

Anyway, thanks for all the great feedback.

P.S. Yes the Scrambler is Olive Drab too. That one was Krylon OD. Different shade from Rust-o-leum.

Great looking truck and nice job on the painting.

 

[Loose Deuce]

Great, and no HazMat fee on the paint. On the first two pictures, is that a 5 ton cargo cover ?

 

[sak00]

No, it a cover that I believe the previous owner had made. The sun tore it up pretty bad. It was "civie made"

 

[SpruceDeuce]

great looking paint job!!

i think i am going to do something similar in terms of spray bombs. What are the names of the colors you used and did you use primer (color and type) anywhere or did you just wipe down the old paint and spray over it?

also, how did you do the camo pattern with a template, tape, or just good control over your hands?

thanks,
