What have you done to your square lately??
Black is the most challenging color to paint, it shows everything. Color sanding doesn’t always make it better, plus you’re now one less layer closer to primer. In my case, I am hoping the chrome trims will distract one a little bit from the flawed paint. Bodywork and paint is a challenge when... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Stupid as this reads, sprayed two coats under moonlight and then got up at dawn to tack cloth and spray last coat….definitely not gonna win truck show competition….but perfect enough for me. -

Sprayed primer but abandoned white paint since the bugs woke up. -
Bed liner paint.
This is what I have been doing with my K20; overall, I am satisfied with the results but I do question the amount of effort to get here. These trucks have a lot of surface area which takes an enormous amount of time to prepare properly especially if it had many previous coatings from the past 40...- mxer147

Looking to get rid of some of that junk? Some of that newer junk grill could help repair a small area missing from my grill? A stock cold air cleaner could be nice if it’s 4B. -
Tailgate alignment?
I have same issue, I m going to try plastikote or wrap the box pivots with duct tape until the excess play is gone. Then grease it so it won’t wear out quickly.- mxer147

I’d go ride that dirt bike first and then buff out the green paint then wax. Nice rides and good to be back home where it belongs.- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
No, it’s an isocyanate activator mixed 8:1 which hardens the oil based enamel paint. -

Rust oleum hood underside and some associated parts. Used some enamel hardener this time. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Sanded the glazing putty and taped the stripes on both sides. Gonna shoot primer and then white paint. Wide stripe will be metallic blue and less wide stripe orange, opposites on the color wheel. And, broncos colors. Bugs are out, almost 80 today, won’t shoot if they’re around. -
Kick panel Speaker Mounts
They look much higher quality than the $35 I spent for some $2 cheap plastic covers which I plan to reshape, reinforce and paint. I don’t expect much from them other than mid range and not cutting up my doors. Speaker functionality is highly dependent on head unit and matching speakers with head...- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
Washed the hood to add some glazing putty to fill all the imperfections. Next, final sand, primer, tape stripes and shoot probably next week or later. Bug’s flying in the evening so I will have to wait until it’s warm enough in the morning to paint outside before the bugs wake up. -

Block sanding the hood, prolly look like a sack of walnuts after I shoot it. -

Wiped and cleaned the citristrip from these parts, no more overspray. -
Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?
I’ve experienced limp mode on my 04, no codes but I am fairly certain it was related to filling the tank to the very top. One time died under significant load, other time it was after restarting.- mxer147

Sprayed and brushed some satin black rust oleum with my favorite painting tool, taping sucks. -
Motorbike ramps : how to secure them ?
I used a 2 x 12 (with a crack) this past weekend so I’m not much help. My aluminum ramp has chains which I attach to the bumper but it’s too steep angle so I opt for the 2 x 12 mostly.- mxer147

Prepped the core support and cowl for paint, cleaned the drain tunnel, and also removed the hood hinge bezel so I can citristrip the blue and white over spray. -

Paint a horizontal white stripe on each resting spring so you can count the turns on each side while winding, not a bad idea to wear safety gear including eye protection and a full face helmet, lots of energy stored in a winding spring. -

Rally all the way, I think some new shiny silver would make them really pop.
