Alabama thread!

I used the cheapest possible paint at Walmart. No primer, for prep I used dawn dish detergent and scrubbed my sliders.

The paint is still strong where it’s never came in contact with a rock. Also where I’ve hit a rock it just scratches that off, it has not made the other paint peel or anything. Don’t think you have to over do it for sliders.

 

Did you need for me to get that sandblasting cabinet? I'm guessing Wes will finish up with my sliders today, so hopefully I can go get them today as well. I'm gonna sand, wash, wipe with acetone and then primer and paint the sliders.

 

@TacoAlaMode?

I’ll have to give you $50 when I meet you @cubie

 

I can cover that for you. I'll sand blast a few items when I get home with it. Hey I can sandblast my sliders for an awesome canvas for primer/paint to stick to! Sandblasted surface finish is the best for paint adherence!

 

Rustoleum metal eching primer and whatever color you want rustoleum paint.

 

Thanks Matt! Metal etching primer it is then!

 

Sounds good to me. @cubie , I’ll PM you my number.

 

This will all be dependent on when @Jerneyman finishes the sliders.

 

You plan on coming up to get the cabinet when I get home with it?

 

It is a good deal. I paid more than that when I got it from a friend. I have the high pressure fitting for it though. Was going to get a smaller one and took it off a few months ago.

Cubie,
Need to drop the fitting off with Brian before you pick up.

 

@Arrowshot sounds great.

@cubie I will try to meet you the same day you pick up, if not I’ll get with you the following day.

Conversation sent!

 

Current plans are to pick up the sliders tomorrow morning/afternoon from Wes.

 

Oh i forgot to mention that @TacoAlaMode used to paint things as well. Not sure if he does anymore

 

I’m going to be looking at putting a fresh coat on everything soon. Even my new rear. I still need to wash her from last weekend thou.

 

I need to repaint all of my stuff, just scared most of it’s tweaked and will be a pain to get back on.

 

@tweakit88 may as well by a prerunner if you’re going to remove the entire front of the truck anyways. I was actually surprised. Seems like a good deal.

 

@Arrowshot, what is the high pressure fitting you’re talking about? Can you send a photo or link a photo of what it looks like?

 

Slow day and nothing to do. Decided to grill some brownies. Stay tuned.
