Re: Rods 57
Interesting. You've got my attention as I will be doing my own bedwood soon. Is this the color stain that Minwax sells? I know it comes in a variety of colors.
Or did you thin automotive paint and use as a stain? Also, because of the grain pattern i assume it is pine. Pine tends to absorb ordinary stain fast. So fast that it sometimes just look sopped. I've seen guys I use a pre-stain sealer did you do anything like that?

Re: Rods 57
After my second test out with just the red stain.
Here is the first one up to the bed color. I'm going with this one, just think it looks better. |

Re: Rods 57
Nice progress! Do you know of a local paint booth for rent? Or is that your home shop?

Re: Rods 57
Like you said, the bed wood is "only pine". Try several variations to find what you like best. Heck, you could even do shorter sections on the same piece for more testing, and the back side too.

Re: Rods 57
I got a few things done on the truck. I have not been focusing on it much this summer but i did get the exhaust on and painted. the driveline made and picked out the gauges for it.
