its going to stay this bright silver for now, i might repaint later, but it will be after this gets scuffed bad, this that im using is rustoleum professional spray enamel, so it should last a while, my brothers father-in-law makes decas and stuff, so im going to get him to make me some for her,

well..... the paint job shat on me , i went to put some rustoleum gloss clear coat over the rustoleum spray paint, and it messed up the paint job, so forget spray cans, im going to buy auto paint and hardener and use that, after i sand blast it and primer it, im not messing with the stupid spray cans again on something i want to look good.

how did it mess it up?

it caused the paint to run in some places and was just a overall crappy finish, even after sanding and buffing,

oh i see, lool

that is the color im going for now

That is a really nice blue. What's it called?

sounds like the basecoat wasn't fully cured. It's happened to me before.

Humidity and temperature play a large role in paint jobs, especially spray bomb jobs.

Car paint is pricey and requires special equipment.

hey, how long should i wait to clear coat mine? its like 70-80s with like idk humidity

the part i cleared had been sitting in a dry place with 80+ degree for almost 2 weeks, and my buddie has the equipment to do the auto paint, the paint is duplicolor deep metallic blue,

Totally agree, also forget spray cans on big stuff. Im just home from spraying the JD mower deck yellow with cans. It was a pain, like theres not enough flow. I regret i choose cans. Oh well.

And nice blue you found, bet thats sexy with white.

And forget the temp I bet you have to high humidity now.

the humidity wasn't that bad, they were in a dry building, but its whatever, i will do the auto paint, but it might be a little while, because we are about to move probably and ill have to store most of this crap at a buddies house, ill probably keep Dixie with me tho, ill have to store it at my friends till i either buy or build a shop, ill keep ya'll updated though

dont know how well you can see it, but the finish just didnt come out good to me

this is the new seat for dixie, it is a air ride seat out of a dump truck, the air cylinder still works so its getting took of the the seat is getting used from the metal slides up, the cylinder is getting used on something else that im not revealing for a while but feel free to guess what.....hint, the cylinder raises up about a foot

Nice heavy duty seat that shouldn't break  

lol its comfortable to has about 1 foot of slide front to back and 4 different positions for the back

Riding in comfort lol

na when i build a decent trailor im going to use it to make it tilt

got it mostly put back together, got to weld the wieght up front and put the box up front for tools and it should be "done" other than mountin the seat

some pics for updates, decided to not do a grill and insteard mount a ammo box upfront and it acts like a grill but is also a tool box

thats one hell of a ammo box lol. I've never seen one that size.
