I have a complete new bed for my truck that I need painted and (I should get this out of the way now) I'm cheap. The truck is only a driver but I would still like it without crackling or runs.
I'm using JohnDeere Blitz Black (TY25669) to match the rest of the truck. The paint is a Lead free Enamel, it's not the new Water based stuff. Is there anyone out there that can still spray this stuff? Cash?
I was going to say Mike Wilson in Bowmanville but then I saw you wanted cheap LOL...his work is worth the pennies but probably more than you want.
Is it all ready to spray, or does it need prep?
Bodywork, primer etc.????? Not that hard to do yourself, Compressor,& gun & some time. I've NEVER painted b-4 untill I got into latest project, just takes TIME learning & getting all the "right' materials!!!! Use bodyshop grade sand paper, NAPA or Car Quest etc. & proper primer, not your "rattle" can CRAP!!!!

It's all brand new metal, no dents, no rust & I don't even care if the spot welds are filled in! As i had stated it's a driver and I actually think it looks just as nice dirty or clean. I'll trade my old bed for a half decent paint job, I'll even supply the paint, beer, etc. The new metal is coated to stop surface rust but they will need sanding before primer anyway. Of course, I have no idea what i'm talking about because I know very little about paint or painting!
At the least...you should have it washed with a solvent(wax and grease remover etc)..a quick sanding with a maroon scotchbrite or some 320-400grit paper...then I would hit it with epoxy primer(you don't have to re-sand with epoxy if you are in a certain window of time) and then your colour of choice. Like I said ..at the least. Just to be clear are we talking the whole box(sides, floor, tailgate etc) or just the bed of the box. Everyone has different lingo. How cheap is cheap???? I don't drink beer!LOL

Take the beer Rich...Then sell it to Oldguy at a premium when he comes for visits
I would think twice before using john deere britz black. terrible stuff. scratches if you look at it. I would at least spring for a 2 part paint. you are probably only going to need 2 qts. max
Yep-have confidence in your self and your abilities-start with little parts-it really isnt that hard and if you are going with the suede look-there are a lot of top coats that are very forgiving. Just follow the directions.
