[muddy_yota_guy]

What kind of paint did you use? looks pretty good man

[TT21]

ya bro that looks good. What kinda paint did you use? Rattle Can? Im thinking bout doing rattle can to my truck and im hoping thats what it will look like.. good job man

[RockCrushinToy]

yup its a rattle can of flat black

the 96 cents a can at walmart

ya it turned out pretty good, alot of people told me not to use the rattle can and that it would look bad, but i saw it on ktoys rig and it looked good so i did it too

thnx guys

[TT21]

ya ktoys rig is sick.....so did you just use the flat black only or did you rattle can primer it also...cuz i think that is what im going to do

[RockCrushinToy]

ya i used primer also, but only on the bondo and where the was bare metal showing, so most of the truck had primer too

[TT21]

sweet...looks good man....ill be doing the same as soon as the weather is warmer

[RockCrushinToy]

ya i was told that the paint sticks better when it is warmer, but i didn't hear that till after i was done :spanka:

i also wanted something to do cuz i was bored

[TT21]

[RockCrushinToy]

it really only took me about 20 hours of work with a couple friends to paint it all, fill in about 3 big dents, smooth the gas door, and make my bobbed bed look clean

if you get up close its not perfect, but with my luck ill have a new big dent next time i go wheelin anyways haha :grin:

:grin:

[WrenchTwister]

and so i guess the gas filler is in front of the wheel well??

[hilbiliecrawler]

heres some advice for any who is going to do this, use rust tough semi flat it turns out looking really good this is wat i used on my 87

[RockCrushinToy]

yup i moved the filler hose to the inside of the bed in front of the wheel well

soon im going to cut my wheel well out up through where the gas door used to be

mo runner your last toy looked way sick, did it have full widths??

[MO_4Runner]

Yes dana 44 and 14 bolt when i built it. I sold it to my friend who has added a front 60 after breaking 30 shafts. 38.5 boggers and 32 bolt beadlocks.

There are a LOT more pics of it with new owner driving like that pic in the link below if anyone wants to see more.

hey forgot to ask, but how many cans did it take you to do the whole truck???

[BigDaddy]

Looks good.....got to love the smell of Bondo. I hate to think how many hours I have into mine, but I am sure its not more than 30 and thats spraying it with a gun. You can also use a spray gun and spray primer, so your finger does not get black and stuck to the red tip. It may a few bucks cheaper.

Looks like you have some cool friends helping you out, and your girl was helping you out also......shit I wish I could get mine to come into the garage to talk to me when I working on mine.

[RockCrushinToy]

y dude i was gonna spray mine with a gun, but was too impatient to go through the hassle of one, so i went and bought about 18 cans paint (for those who were wondering) and just got the job done. my finger did get covered in black paint and stuck to the tip a lot, but it was worth it.

o and ya it is bad ass to have a girlfriend that is cool with hangin out and helpin a little with my truck, but she is kinda finding out that LOVE my truck and she is a little jealous of it now haha :redspotda

[shawn0890ss]

you could always get one of those gun trigger atachments for spar cans. they work wonders when you have to spray anything large or need it to look nice and even.

[RockCrushinToy]

i used one of those once

i think its easier to do it without one, they always break anyways
