Now that I think about it, I've got an air compressor in the shop, I can buy a paint gun from the store, and get the new metal, start priming it and painting it. One coat, sand, and so forth. Then a clear coat.

BUY GOOD PAINT/ Primer !!! buy a good DA sander and have at it. If it is not a show truck and you can deal with a run or 2 here and there go for it. Prep and priming it is the most important part.

[ohioduck]

Take your time on the prep part. The painting is easy.

[R. Chapman]

I would buy damn good paint/primer. 1st coat and then what grit of sand paper? Wet or dry sand it?

Prime

Dry sand to hit the big rough spots
wet sand to smooth it out
Wipe down and make sure it's dry
Paint
Wet sand 400 and work your way finer

Repeat till you want to clear coat

I was scared like you till I did it a couple of times. Now I gotta replace the cab corners on the Dime

[R. Chapman]

How big of grit differences? Like start at 400, then 800? Or what?

400 600 should be all you'll need for wet.

start on the old paint/ metal with 100 then smooth it out with 120

Prime it hit it again with the 120 to hit the high spots

hit it with the wet 400

Paint.

Remind me tonight and I'll post pictures of when I did a rattle can job on my jeep. Turned out awesome. All in the prep work.

Exactly, if you prep it right I could paint it with a brush and roller and make it look decent.

[R. Chapman]

Well the metal I'm getting from LMC is already primed, just wonder how good the primer is.

Hey Olly, I would think that those boys in those Dauphin's are using there binos for more than search and rescue purposes down here on the Florida coast.

Not bad, not bad at all!

Not as much military flights along the beach as in the past. That's what I enjoy. We did get to watch and hear spooky circle a nearby firing range and fire her large cannon yesterday evening. Those boys went through some rounds.

Good deal. We do a lot of finish work on boats so I know all about prep.

If it's stupid and works it's not stupid.

Didn't have anyone around to help me get my bike off the truck and no ditches, banks, hills whatever around to back it up to.

This worked like a charm!

I have a ramp but the KLR650 weighs in at like 450lbs and I honestly didn't feel good about backing it down the ramps. My truck is lifted and the ramp angles were just too steep.

[Goldfish]

Doesn't weight any more then my R6 but you've got a lot more ground clearance.

Pussy.

Haha. Then you did the only option you had

Got back from Billings last night at 6:00. Grab the girl and 2 buddies and went up and had a campfire last night. Ate up 3 pounds of elk burger, got a little bit boozed up, had a bull moose wake us up in the middle of the night and caught a bunch of brookies this morning proceeded by almost smacking a cow elk going 75 heading home. All in all, a great way to end the weekend.
