From what i've read so far thats all i need to do right. I am no body work specialist so any advice will be appreciated so its done right. My biggest prob is patients. I want it to be done in an hour:lol4: One question i do have is should i take the tape off before its dry or not. i know with some roll ons it won't peel off with the tape. Also how many coats should i spray on? thanks for any input guys:thumbsup: ]]> Auto Body bigred04 http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/auto-body/212243-sprayin-my-rockers-tomorrow-any-tips.html BAD BAD Paint job http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/auto-body/211953-bad-bad-paint-job.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:41:19 GMT Well my truck got hail damage a few months back and insurance repainted everything except the tailgate and front bumper.It has a new roof panel and I added a SRT hood while it was in for new paint. Problem is that I picked up the truck tonight and looking at it in my garage under regular light the paint sucks. The bumper that they didn,t paint has a new 8"scuff plus a scuff in the rear door that I showed them already and they are going to buff but what I didn,t notice is that the whole truck has debris in the paint(like 25-30 on hood alone) and one spot of terrible orange peel. So my question is this can debris spots be removed and spot fixed? I understand that is a hard question to answer without seeing it but I guarantee I could have painted that hood myself better with princess auto equipment plus the hood has runs both sides. The rest of the truck is not much better and whoever did the so called detailing it today should have checked there wrag because it scratched the whole truck. This was a $11500 repair bill at a dodge dealer. I am going to go back down there first thing in the morning and see what they will do about it but they already had my truck since oct 19th untill today nov18 and this is the crap that I get back on my $55000 truck. I honestly feel sick when I look at it. Any advice from someone that does bodywork. ]]> Auto Body TKC http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/auto-body/211953-bad-bad-paint-job.html Show Me Your Blacked out Trucks http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/auto-body/211577-show-me-your-blacked-out-trucks.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:20:31 GMT Hey, I would love to see the chrome hatin trucks out there that are all blacked out, Ill start with mine.

Pretty big dent and it will need some straitening on the bottom.

My dad had an auto/body shop for several years so I should have the tools and guidance to take care of it, not sure what extent to go to though. How much would paint run to cover it up? I'm almost considering just fixing it hitting it with primer for now since there are a few other small dents I would like to get out, and eventually repaint the truck.

How much would it take/cost to do the whole bed? I'm assuming I would never get a perfect match, but I don't think it is now anyway since it was converted to a short bed.

Truck is silver, so I think having it fixed and primed would look better than it is. :confused013:

The truck is maroon, the door I bought is red. I was going to go to O'Reilly and get a quart of their color match and shoot the door. Would I be able to tell I did it if I weren't to blend it with the back door and fender? Trucks paint is in very good shape, but being an 01 I know it has to be faded.

Planning on doing a base clear with O'Reilly color match, not sure the brand of paint they sell, but I think they offer several, Ill check tomorrow.


Pretty competant in my ability to paint, and you gotta try sometime eh? Would I be recomended to blend the panels??

...or what I could do to fix it?

Thanks.
