MrLaraMN is ditching me for over two weeks. Can I paint his truck in my driveway?

[LaraMN]

Where do I purchase auto paint? Do I use a paint brush?

:bounce:

1. Krylon works just fine on pickups

[LaraMN]

2. Yay!

I think I'm going to also get some Bondo -or whatever that body repair stuff is called- and make raised objects on the body.

3. Don't forget the stencils!

[LaraMN]

4. Ohhh! Good call!

I could even make some of my own.

5. Pink is a lovely color

and some yellow daisies might be nice ;)

6. just use a decent oil based housepaint

and alternate using different sized disposable brushes according to the size area on the truck you are painting.

i also find that *masking* (taping) off other areas is time consuming and inefficient. just be careful instead. :P

(ps-i knew a guy who along with his son, painted his VW black. they used black housepaint and each of them painted half, he painted the left half his son painted the right. worth noting is that the son's side came out better, the brush lines are much more evident on the father's side of the car)

7. I figure that since it looks like shit anyway, he can't get THAT mad at me.

In theory...

8. Something like this would be nice

[MrCoffee]

9. That looks an awful lot like the van my high school German teacher drove

:scared:


She threw a textbook at me once.

10. I think an airbrush is required

But how could he complain about this?

[BeachBaby]

11. I like purple. Do YOU like purple?

I think you should paint it purple. And to make HIM happy, add these for mud flaps - the ultimate in the manly man's truck accessories....

12. Make it into a hippy-mobile

[LaraMN]

13. That's been done too many times.

I've gotta go one better...

14. The graffiti guys prefer spray paint, don't they?

Just go for lots of color.
