Fresh paint 1008, now for sale... Well, I've been driving it around some and it's a nice truck!! A little loud at 55mph, but tolerable. It really likes about 45-50. Really this is a ploy to move this post to the top again... Truck is now for sale for $3000. I have the title, and it...

M1008 Painted (and now for sale!) Thanks for the compliment, Powerhousedeuce! I was beginning to think that I was just posting this to myself... So the weather was nice so I did a bit more cleanup and took some better pics... And added it to the classified section so it can hopefully pay...

Pulled it out this morning and took a few pics... Looks like I'm about done!! I didn't even see any thin spot with primer showing in my quick checkout... Wish the paint was a little thicker, as I can still see some of the filler and sanding marks. It's not perfect, but it's painted...

So I ended up starting the spraying a little after 6PM, with temps about 60 and dropping... Had to thin a little more than I wanted to to get it to spray nice and lay out. (conventional gun) Probably around 2:1 paint to Naptha, maybe a little thinner even. Tossed on a light first...

Ok, my plan to paint this morning was foiled by wind and rain about 8:30 AM... So I went to work and decided that the weather was good enough to paint this evening. After reading the paint can and various painting reports, I decided to get some hardner and some synthetic enamel reducer to...

Well, I didn't get out of work as early as I had hoped today. Didn't take any pictures, but the filler was harder to see this afternoon. I ran around with spot putty and filled all the pinholes and scratches that I could see as soon as I was home. Primer was really rough, so I decided to...

Notice that you can see the filler through the primer?? You kinda still can, but only because the texture is different. I can read the GL lettering on the front fender and box side too, even though I sanded it smooth with the D/A. I'm hoping that a little sanding tomorrow evening will...

Well, I see the pics get order switched between preview and submit. I'll try to keep that in mind... So day two (today) was more sanding, and sanding, and sanding, and discovering that I never welded in the small cab corner on the driver's side... So more filling and sanding, and filling...

Well, I have two M1008's thanks to a moment of weakness early this summer, and due to other projects (house) I haven't done much with them. Since it's more than time for one of them to go, and only one is currently a driver, I'm painting it in celebration of the unseasonably warm weather this...
