Tires

Did some work this morning cleaning up the tires and rims I know the rims look glossy but they will flatten out to a satin finish after they dry. Also put the bumper on and grill, after bolted up realized that I should of mounted the brush guard I should have know better . I have also mounted the door handles . Not much work getting done here, lack of motivation and cold weather .
I was thinking I might just leave it green I can always camo paint it , Any input

Do you do your painting outside in the open or do you have some sort of booth you're using? Are you using an airless or.....

Thanks for the cost on the paint. How many gallons to paint the whole thing in/out like this?

Great build!

 

[CPAPPY]

bshupe It should only take a gallon of paint if you paint it all together, also depends what your spraying over. I use a Devilbiss high volume low-pressure (HVLP) spray gun . I have sprayed inside when cold , most of the time outdoors.

I was looking at some of the pics here from the beginning to now and when I was looking at your frame it looks like new! How did you clean it and what did you use to paint it?

Buzz first I pressure washed it, and then used a 4 " wire wheel to any rust areas . This frame was like new after I pressure washed it . Then took a red scotch bright pad to the frame to rough it up , and as far a paint I applied 2 to 3 coats of black epoxy primer .
