Re: 1978 big ten build
 

It is a 4x4 right...just kidding but it does sit pretty high for a 2wd.

Re: 1978 big ten build
 

Very nice, I like the stance and wheels and tires on it.

Re: 1978 big ten build
 

one ounce of mineral spirits per 6 ounce of paint. .06 ounces of hardener per ounce of mixture.

Re: 1978 big ten build
 

Are you wetsanding/polishing any of it? How does it it turn out after you first spray it?

I'm painting my red/black/red truck to red/black and this paint method seems way more into my budget...

Truck looks awesome btw.

Re: 1978 big ten build
 

It turns out really good pretty smooth just depends on the gun and the painter, I'll. Probably just polish it, and a word of advice do the first to coats light or you will have runs every where. Good luck I'd like to see the finished product and thanks!!
