Well three weeks ago I sold my 5 ton and part of the deal was painting it for new owner. First we went over all the questionable area's with a wire wheel on the side grinder. Then we pressure washed it 3-4 times with heavy duty degreaser let it dry . After that used rust converter OSPHO two more days of good drying . Next we used rustolum red rusty metal primer on any bare metal and rusty places. Had to let it dry for 4 days due to a rain shower on day two if drying. Then came the fun 10 gallons of Valspar Duramax paint and primer product from Lowe's color matched to new fiber glass troop seat green. Did this over several days to get all the nooks and crannys underneath tail gate up sides down. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be. Their is a lot of angles and surface to get. After letting the green dry for 5 days did the camo pattern using pictures of trucks from web as reference. I used the brown color matched off of something that the guy had. Next is lots of pictures. Most probably did not read post just looked at pics. I used my airless house paint sprayer for green the gravity feed air spray painter.
