  • My brother bought my 1987 Chevrolet k1500 I picked up in Missouri to get back home from a trip. I'm going to surprise him with a quick makeover/budget build before he picks it up! I found a $119 Acrylic Enamel paint kit on eBay I'm going to use, as well as put on new tires and wheels. I'll also cover how to set up your spray gun, how to mix paint, and some general do's and don'ts for auto body repair I've picked up over the years. I'm no expert, but if you want a solid 23 foot paint job, here's your video!
    The paint guns I used:

    Here’s a tip with no running water; blue window cleaner with added 10% acetone. Spray on, wipe to dry. Do it again. Great prep when you can’t wash. Prob not good method if you’re going for a riddler award, but get something one color, it’s worked for me for 30 years.

    I did one paint job, back in the 90s, had a car i needed changed color wise, drove to an old abandoned factory, parked in a covered shipping truck dock, and at 11pm taped up the car, and sprayed with about 29 cans of gloss red, no primer, no sanding, spent 3 hours painting and another 2 hours swcond coating it. Sat up on the truck dock and watched the sun start to break the horizon over the bay, then untaped (agreed best part of painting) and drove off in a glossy red car, actually looked extremely good considering.
    Went back to the street races on geary blvd the next night and re-raced the same guys i had beaten just 72 hours earlier and took them again, good times in my 20s, memories we take with us to the grave.

I’ve got an old 99 Chevy Silverado with the 2000 body style and yesterday coming back from the doctor my oil pressure dropped below 20 psi and I guess I’ll be without away to go now since my wife maxed out the credit cards and ruined our credit. I just found that she just did it not long ago when a cop was at my door handing me a lean against my home. Now I have four leans. I guess I’ll sit and just watch the house fall apart and my truck rust back to dirt. A man doesn’t have a chance with this woman.
