repainting my 94 ss, sneak peak

04xrider · 04-29-2008, 03:57 PM

Here is a sneak peak of the paint I chose to redo my 94 with. It is a metallic black, and man is there a s load of metallic in it. I hope to have this finished within the next week. I am waiting on a new paint gun.

No, that is painted tape you see. If you look at it before I primed it, you can see the blue tape there.

sdime98 · 04-30-2008, 01:23 PM

k good, i saw it in the first pic, but then it looked just like you had sprayed over it, guess you just did that good of a job taping it off..haha..any pics of it sprayed?

91rebuilts10 · 04-30-2008, 01:42 PM

Wrkn prgs · 04-30-2008, 02:02 PM

Still waiting on my new paint gun, should be here today. I hope to spray it tomorrow if the humidity is not to high.

sdime98 · 04-30-2008, 02:38 PM

what kind of gun?

I have seen others that were color matched to the truck, and they looked good. These were getting a little scratched up, so I figured it was a good time to see if they will look good painted or not. They are pretty cheap, so if I don't like them painted, I'll just get new ones.

It is a gti 620g Devilbiss. I don't know that much about paint guns, but after reading lots of post by paint toad and others, I decided that one should do well for my purpose.

sdime98 · 04-30-2008, 06:01 PM

haha...yea, i tried to keep my gun clean as hell, and after about 4 or 5 uses, i've given up on trying to keep the outside looking immaculate..just as long as it still sprays ok..haha.

04xrider · 05-02-2008, 08:37 AM

It's getting closer: I am going to redo the hood and tailgate today. My old cheapo gun left bad streaks in the metallic.

The new gun really does a great job on the metallic, very uniform. I got some great tips from paint toad on setup and spraying. So thank you paint toad
