I have been a quiet body for a while...
But I have been busy...
Here are some before and after pictures of my son's $500 1973 C10 Pickup.
This is what we bought...
And here is the first pics after we replaced the Hood and front fenders.
Then we went at it with a Roller and Rustoleum thinned 50% with Mineral Spirits.
Here you can see the orange peel texture you get after about 5 or 6 coats.
Now you think that would be good enough for an offroad truck?.... No, not us!
Sanded out with 800 wet and dry
Sanded with 1000 and buffed...
Pretty good now!
So, it works pretty well for less that $100... and a few weekends..
