not yet just the rear fenders to do but i wanted to paint the back of the cab before i put the bed on..
so paint right over that?
in the pictures you can see the rear of the cab i had some small holes i filled with my welder i was a dum 16 year old when i first got it and screwed a carpet the the back so i filled the holes and smoothed them out and used fiberglass bondo short hair to fill and smooth it out and i primed the rear and used 320 and wet it and fatherd the primer to the orignal pain and i got perfect match from pep boys (in mass) to do the cab and maybe save the painting til the warmer weather.. but in teh bed pictures i need the lip of the fender well replaced and the fronr passenger just a little but i sandblasted the frame and did the lines all new and replaced the foot brake lines
I mention a fender patch and it seems like everyone gets nervous. Not going to blame someone online if the paint comes out bad..Welled I actually bought a Haynes tech book. You use 320 grit.
It’s a fender.. Not a big problem. When did everyone become so soft.. All I’m asking is what to do to when I want to paint the truck. I like to do the work myself.. Not sure about anyone else.
Have the truck detailed? It needs Rear fender wells. Not going to have them buff rust bubbles..
I need to fix the bubble rust on the bed fender wells and front passenger fender. Then paint. Has any one used patch panels ? I plan on welding them in with butt welds and the Eastwood clamps.
casue the rear fenders im going to do the patch panels on the bed so it will need paint there along with the front left fender im going to do
because it has the small surface scratches. and just needs to be cleaned up a new coat would def. help.
i figured 80 grit was to much but you think sanding it with 600 then wax/degreaser and straight paint is best..and no primer?
