Am I missing something here, you painted that with a spray can? I am going to get some krylon.

CaliRob: looks good even if you dont go any farther. I have one of those high tech "hood props" myself. Never had one fail yet....Ross

Looks good!

I used Krylon on my 62, lasts about 2 years. then do it again.

Rob.
That paint job will get ya by! No one is gonna mistake you for anyone else on your way out to Tejas.
And you can always find it in the parking lot!
Sounds like you are happy to have the old girl on the road again!
Congrats!

Looks good from here!
Is it running well now that you've had some of it's wrongs corrected?

looks like a nice 50/50 paint job, that is from 50 feet or @ 50 mph.
mine is rust-oleum.still not bad after 4 years.

That just blows my mind. I know a guy who painted a welding trailer with a brush and it looked OK, would have never thought about painting a car with a roller.

my 66s entire frame, cab floor, firewall, and stepwells all done with por-15 and a brush.cant tell at all.
i used the rustoleum hammered metal paint on my bed inside ,bumpers , and wheels. a roller on the bed floor and brush on the rest ,same thing cant tell.all sorts of scratches in my bed from hauling stuff already but $20 will buy another can and a new roller.
used rust oleum in spray cans on the rest.i can tell because i did it and the bad spots irritate me. not many of them and most folks cant even tell.
i have a compressor and paint guns now so when it wears out i will redo with something else.

If Skip saw it, he might say "That's the purdiest damn cherry red this country boys ever laid eyes on!"

(Sorry ol' buddy - just wanted to welcome you home from Union territory).

Rob your truck is looking good. Maybe we can meet up again this coming year?

Looks good for rattle can for sure. I think you shoulda picked a little brighter color though, that one is kinda subdued.

I was being ornery in the last post. I like it.

I used Rust-Oleum, but I got the quarts and sprayed it with a spray gun. not bad for my liking. 1 1/2 days and $80.

Michael

Yeah it ir runnin pretty good, I just have a few things i need to tinker with but i am happy for right now. I will repaint it later with real paint and a spraygun.
Rob

Wow Rob... that does look pretty nice. I am so glad that you've got the old girl running. We need to get together before leave our state for good. Let me know.

P.S. I posted some new pics of my project...it is finally finished.
