Here are some photos of my Pisser style Wham-Bam paint job that I did on my 1995 Chevrolet Suburban. It has about 335,000 miles on it, so it does not really deserve a full restoration, but it is deserving of a cheap paint job to make it look respectable. It had quite a bit of rust, but I did not do too much to fix it other then weld in some of my laughable patches into the rockers and cab corners.

I painted it with a gloss white single stage enamel with a cheap harbor freight paint gun.

Here is the finished product complete with some flares, Black stripes where the molding was, a plastidip Tornado (I storm chase with this) and my CB Antenna.

Looks pretty good, I was expecting house paint and a roller.

It is only about two steps above that sort of work.

What's the symbol on the door? Looks like you're a tornado chaser.

If I lived where there are tornadoes I'd have the same symbol but I'd add a little guy running away from it.

I'd call that a 15 footer!
At least you fixed the front bumper.
Something I've yet to do on my '03.

That is exactly what I am.
Where in Illinois?
I lived in Villa Park until '73 then returned to Canada. We were at the edge of a tornado belt. Never saw a full touchdown. I still get nervous when I hear thunder.

Any good tornado pics?

Only one of which contains a tornado.

I just tied a chain around a tree and pealed rubber.
