i sold this truck and the dude that bought it, was freakin very impressed on the paint job. I tell you what though, if you spend the time the rustoleum can look dam good for sure. so I say go for it.
@polarissportsman5001 the mixture was the cheap recycled min-spirits and the paint was the professional black oil base from home depot. the prep was really just quick sanding, to rough the surface. cleaned of with mineral spirits. let dry the mixed like 25 % mineral with paint the more you use the more runny it will be and if not thin enough it will bubble up on you and create more orange peel.
Looks pretty good. I did an old 83 Ford Ranger like that that was given to me. I chose white and painted the grill and bumpers white too. I didn't thin it and didn't wait for it to harden between coats. I used a rattle can to get between the bed and rear cab. Turned out real good and the white masks alot of imperfections. Still have it and it gets lots of comments because of everything being white. They say it looks European. lol I put an old set of 20's on it that were laying around the shop.
I think it turned out really good! Its a better alterative than paying thousands for a professional paint job...I have a 1986 Camper Van (just picked it up), going to paint it myself too.
@Ocimproductions sorry it took so long to get back to you. I used roll on paint as well for the strips. and used blue painters tape. did the stripes first, after it dried for 3 days i came back and taped over the white slightly revealing a little white then painted the black just overlapping the white. 3 coats on the white. hope that helps.
@Ocimproductions 3 coats of white paint, blue painters tape. painted stripes first after 3 days of sun, I came back with blue painters tape on top of the white slightly revealing the the white edge so the black would overlap. then buffed the paint 3 days later to smooth. light wet sanding the polishing compound. Note after I painted removed tape before it dryed. otherwise it's hard to remove. hope this helps.
@davidlundy41 that is 2 coats but it's best to thin this stuff out and do many coats i spent just painting about 1 hr. a day for 2 days. but i was rushing it a little.thanks for the compliments
thanks it could of looked alot better but i was really impatience. i working on that about not rushing but hey it looked a heck of alot better than before.
GREAT Job Man. Thanks for the helpful vid. Going to try mine soon while I'm in between semesters. '91 SR5 yota pickup. Needs some asthetic TLC. Just priced decals. LOOK'n Forward to putt'n a smile back on my great 'ole reliable friend. This truck's been so great for me for many years and MANY miles. Can't wait to do it right now in July-August here in Craig, CO where it's real hot 'n dry. Planning on maybe going the rattle can route though..Thoughts? Advice? Watch'n YT vids for ideas. :)
thanks for the opinions. in please with it. of course its sold. could always be better no doubt but it looked more like one color than 5 or primer everywhere. so good enough for me
LOL Dude you have the same kinda attitude I have about painting and bodywork, "Ehh fuck it, I don't feel like fooling with it, looks good enough" Nice work
@RacistRedneck I look at it this way, if I put a lot of time in to it and lots of money, and then it becomes a show truck etc.. it won't ever see the woods or a dirt road. it's a 4x4 and made for the woods. thanks for the comment..
A neighbor told me that lacquer is te type of paint that shrinks ad cracks not enamel. Enamel dry's from inside out. Lacquer dries from outside in. So use enamel paint recommended
I recently did a really similar paint job on an almost identical truck. ua-cam.com/video/VRv901eSVO8/v-deo.html My '88 C1500 had a pretty rough body, but some license plates/sheet metal screws took care of that. Overall it turned out pretty good, especially when I put the chrome back on.
@ MsCraigslister you did a great job to me but i just had a quick question, I have this same truck and it use to be my dads work truck when he did tree work and its got some dents and stuff but ive been spray painting it (dumb i know) and i just found out about these "Rustoleum paint jobs" and im still not sure how they work If you could explain it would be alot of help,thank you very much!
THE BIG RAGOO if your doing like me and you want it to look better dont paint it in the sun or to much heat it seemed to get tacky to quick. Other thab that what plenty of videos and pick a method you like. Good luck send me a link to pictures When your done.

Very good! At this point all it needed was heavy wet sanding , buffed and polished and it would like as good as a factory paint.

Professionals take the bed off and paint the back side.
You did good for a roll on

I agree, thanks. sold the truck early 2011 the guy loved it.

This is a nice truck, i got an 1988 its a nice truck but i wish it wasnt brown with saddle interior
U learned alot..
@Duluthboss to much paint yeah, I didn't realize that till my first coat. it comes back off pretty easy
A neighbor told me that lacquer is te type of paint that shrinks ad cracks not enamel. Enamel dry's from inside out. Lacquer dries from outside in. So use enamel paint recommended
holy orange-peel batman
didnt use too much paint looks like orange peel staggering up with sand paper, clear coat and some buffing will make it shine much better
thanks big e
Looks great, what is the paint called, what process did you do before paint and during paint, and what was the time it took, overall looks great.
it's ok if it is used as a workhose the bonnet could be a little better i hate flies in the paint

I'm just wondering were the stripes rolled on too? How many coats for the stripes and how did u get it to even out with the black? Thanks...

it looks great, im gonna do what you did, oh btw, did you take the glass out or just tape paper over it?
Did you ever finish this off with a sand, buff and polish?
do u still have the truck? how the paint hold up? does it get chalky?
I got a 1991 Silverado. Looks just like yours. I'm about to paint mine black as well. It's been sanded and primered. Do you got any advise for me?
