Not looking for pro's here that have their own shop...although advice would be welcome.
Looking to hear from anyone who has painted their rig at home.
Also folks who have done their own bodywork.
It is time to do paint & bodywork on my 70 burb and on my granddads 72 chevy truck...so in order to save some money and have a great bonding experience with my sons we are going to tackle this ourselves.
I have a big compressor, we will run some hard lines and put in some sort of dryer/filter setup.
Don't own a gun yet and don't want to spend too much on one unless I have to as this will be a 2 rig job and done.
Same original blue with white roof on both so should save a bit on materials.
Was thinking of the Rustoleum done with a gun but leaning more towards a single stage paint now...Polyurathane PPG or an Enamel by PPG...should run around $250 each vehicle for blue/white & primer
Looking for any tips or tricks and thanks in advance
