I am an "old pro" at painting. By far a primer sealer is the most important step for an even finish. The etching primer is only valuable for bare metal, and it is not required. for a first job you did better than I did back in the 1980's lol.
Nice job! As I sat watching, it saddenened me that so many young people these days will never understand the joy you get from working on an older vehicle, bringing it back to life again.
I just bought an ‘82 F150 with the 302, but it’s an automatic and long bed, and in much better shape, but I love it more than I thought I would. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it and I hope you hold on to this one. I’ll be referring to your videos as I look to do some work on mine.
The front end of the truck looks 🥵❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 beautiful
I love the shop heater that also cooks steak!
I’m a big fan & collector of older Ford trucks , looks great 👍
The old bull nose trucks look so good. Back in the day, they didn't catch my eye like they do nowadays.
Glad it worked out to your satisfaction.
Nice job. My dad had an ‘82 F150 XLT that was two tone white & dark blue when I was a kid. V6 with a three on the tree. It wound up in Tennessee when he got rid of it. My first pickup was an ‘81 F150 with a 300 inline six & we painted it almost the same color you used.
Great job! I love seeing old things brought back to life!
I really like the color and seat covers or upholstery.
I'm interested in buying an old ford and i know a paint job will be needed. Ive always wanted to work on a car myself!
Good job 👏 👍 practice makes perfect. We all practice before
Had fun watching. Can't believe all the work! Well worth it - the truck looks great.
Stumbled across your video this morning and really enjoyed it. I'd like to spray something for the first time myself soon. I had an 86 years ago so I love the Bulls. Truck looks nice now, so time to spray those white, wagon wheels!
As someone who has been a paint and body guy for 35 plus years you need to paint as much of an area as you can in 1 shot or atleast the entire panel because your start and stop lines will be obivious, and you should have used a Primer/Sealer, I understand it's your first paint job and over all you did a really good job with the body work and the primer though, If I can suggest a look, keep the gri bac and maybe even paint the roof black, the factory and alot of people go with light blue and white but I like to be different, a light blue and black color scheme would look really good.
Nice job,I have painted 6 so far 2 cars ,4 trucks . Like you said you gain respect for paint and body men!
Beautiful classic
I think it looks pretty good
