Re: Plasti Dipped the '67

So I just realized I never posted my finished pictures, so I thought I'd bump this back up and show it off. Also, for full disclosure yes that is a for sale sign in my window, however I don't want this to come off as a for sale post. If the mods have any issue with this I will happily remove these pics and get some new ones without the sign.








What I ended up with is a decent 20 foot rattle can paint job.
Pros:
-its relatively cheap
-it holds up well, I have scratched it off using the bed but otherwise it holds up
-repairs are easy, and I can get new paint from my local hardware store
-its temporary, but don't be fooled-its sticks. After a couple days of hardening up its nice and solid

Cons:
-i used rattle cans, so it looks like a rattle can job.
-it does have a slight texture

Would I do it again, no-at least using spray cans. If I treated it more like a real paint job, removed my trim and did more prep, and used a real spray gun then yes. I don't really mind it, this truck was rusty, ratty and it was meant to be a temporary job which is exactly what I got.
