the farm truck thread

well i thought i had it almost whooped in first paint job i put on it, but it had some flaws and i suppose i may of rushed some of it. not sure if many of you may remember how the old paint was when i did it about 2 months ago, i had a set of doeskin tan flames & some HOK orion silver flames shootin down the truck seperating the black & blue two-tone. me and my bud ryan laid the flames out and sprayed the silver first, so in that case i had to tape up the silver to spray down the tan and then tape them up to spray either of the bottom or top colors, well i ran into a problem when i taped the silver up & i couldnt tell it really until i sprayed the clear on it.... im guessing it was humidity or something maybe one of yall might know. when i taped it the tape made an impression of the silver basecoat of all the texture of the tape if you know what i mean, and it had some other flaws in the 1/8 pinstriping around the flames from how i did the pinstripes, looked like peices of tack cloth were stuck in the sides of the pinstripes....haha to say the least i was pretty upset, so i sanded & blocked it all back down and sealed that beotch!! lol

heres some pics from the first go around




me spraying the tan

this was right before the clear went on the next day after the above picture


so now me and some buds of mine have decided to change it up a bit and not do the two-tone of the flames like that, doing a full tribal down the truck with just one set of flames twisting through the tribal all starting from about the front fender. The whole truck is going to be the same color blue, and the tribal is going to be in a HOK kandy burple, flames are going to be black with green pinstriping still and some devil tails to add to it some. and alot of airbrushing in the tribal, just some sprokets, gears, & some sick ass skulls all hidden behind the kandy!! heres what i have on it so far, hopefully ill have it in clear by tomorrow night and out the shop by friday to wetsand & reclear one last time & then buff it.













this is the center on the tailgate where the tribal ends




this is pretty much where its at now, green for the pinstripes sprayed & fineline over it ready to spray the black




oh yeah sorry for the essay i wrote about it all haha

You should probably try an inter-coat clear between all of your base steps before masking. If your using an kind of metalic you will deff want to inter-coat clear because tape will pull up big metallics, especially kandy bases.

Cant wait to see the finished product!

Looks good. Ill be happy to get mine painted once much less twice.

Dude the first go round was bad ass, cant wait to see the second attempt

im witht he one that said to use the inercoat clear in between. Its just clear base but gives you a barrier in between coats so if somethin were to be messed up you can fix it without redoin everything. Its lookin badass tho. 2 thumbs up

Get busy boy!

WOW, YOU JUST PAINTED IT, LOL
REMINDS ME OF ME, WHEN I USED TO PAINT MY TRUCK DIFFERENT FOR EVERY SHOW------ GOD THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK

Totally a crazy turn around.....Looked good before and will look good now....Keep it up...Can't wait to see it.

thanks guys, yeah i hated the first paintjob never even got to leave that shop but i think it turned out for the better after i got home this morning to open that shop door. I had to work last night and i was working on my truck with my bud ryan getting all the tribal ready to do the kandy over up until time for work, so he decided he was going to stay for the long haul and finish it out which wasnt much just spraying the burple and prepping it for the clear. Yeah i figured you might had some info dwight on what was happening with that last paint job, that orion silver is a very coarse silver with alot of mettalics so that would make sense, but when i did the first paint job i didnt use masking tape on the flames like i did on the new one, i used just regular old 3/4 3m tape which is alot stronger than the masking. that 6" masking tape i used on the new paint job did just right on the blue metallics, its not very tacky so it didnt affect any mettalics i dont beleive, aight ill shut up now lol.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Hell's Yeah Brother!

werd... looks killer!

badass dude!

Looks good! love the blue!

hell yeah dude... that freaking looks good. Maybe one day my truck will be that far along! haha i still want to know what blue that is lol

Looks good man

i like both paint schemes.. love the detail in the tribals..
