Backyard Hack
Been plugging away on this for a couple of months. Owner is a neighbor so he needs to be happy. Had quite a bit of rust where the cap sits on the bed, the rockers, lower quarters and rear lower fenders. Color selection was chaotic. :) Finally settled on Kindig’s Modern Classik Bad Blood and No Strings White. These two tone jobs are a lot of work. Hope to get doors and fenders in color in the next couple of days. Then the hood and top.

Very nice, did you fix those bed sides or get different ones? I’m elbow deep in 2 1st gen blazers right now…..
 
Today I reaffirmed my backyard hack status and used my Sata 2.5 nozzle poly gun to spray Universal instead of my Sata 5500. :D. I was able to figure out what was going on before going too far. Used masking tape to pull most of the runs. Should be plenty of material to cut and buff. :D. I just hope it doesn’t solvent pop on me.

" used masking tape to pull most of the runs"

This sounds like a Pro tip.
Can you explain how you are using masking tape to pull runs?

Thank you,

From the man himself. Where I first heard of it… :)

Tape out a run.

I get this call a lot, first coat of clear and I have a run. This is the one area if a painter has never taped out a run before, it is worth the time on a scrap fender to practice doing, as its is a money maker when you have the procedure down--I'm an expert on runs, believe me, so I'm really...
