Rustoleum Roller Paint Job Coat #3 1991 Chevy Extended Cab Pick Up Project

Here is the 3rd installment of the Rustoleum Roller Paint Job Project. Turning out real nice and moving along quickly. Not done yet, think I'll add one more coat and it'll be good. Last coat will be thin to have a smoother finish and a better shine. Once the foam is dry, I'll sculpt it and set aluminum flashing over it with screws through it to hold it on. Stay tuned to see how this thing comes out. I'll show some before and after shots.

hey vacation time i got a s10 in bad shape, hood and tail gate are badly rusted and there are rust spots on the side. Most of the blue paint is chipped off and you can see gray. As far as the rustoleum PJ goes, should i sand down the paint and rust to the primer. Or to metal then reprime it? (budget is key). It also has some rust holes (bout 2 inch's acrost at most), how could i get rid of them. would i chip/sand the rust, then use Mesh and Bondo then sand and prime it? any details welcomed, tx

@rocker4u123 The better the surface before painting the better it will look after paint. I'd sand it to the metal where the rust is and get rid of the rust as best you can. With the rustoleum, you don't really have to prime the paint. It can go right over bare metal.

@trex65ghia I also don't disclose that I've pulled the dash out and turned off the check engine light, the ABS light and any other annoying lights that stay on. Shitty, yea, I know.

bad idea with the foam. It will absorb moisture and rust it out again

Well i dont know about the foam but i know this painting technique works well.I painted my car 2 years ago like this and people think i had it sprayed professionally.

[rocker4u123]

@Vacationtime247 yeah i read that last night on that moparts forum that you don't have to prime. Hey thanks alot.

@POPPASHANGO Trucks been sold. Made my money on it and moved on. The foam was just a cheap redneck fix I learned a long time ago. Thought I'd share it. I wasn't about to weld in new panels and try to form them in.
