Most of it is software changes

 

No sir, thats paint

yeah im typically ocd, but this time i think id be willing to settle for pretty good, but not perfect. My a-pillars are peeling and now the hood looks like dookie, so pretty much any quality would be an upgrade

 

Good morning yall

 

Do you have a close up pic of your hood

 

One sec ill go get one. Its super duper streaky

 

Is this what you just painted?

 

Haha yes.. it was a hood a bought a while back and it came primed. I put it on the truck and ran it for a while and it turned grey so i took it off.. then i decided i liked the scoop, so i tried painting it black, and thats where things went down hill quickly. It looks alright if you stand about 25 ft away

 

Gonna say you went to fast, because you didn't want any runs. Also need to concentrate on spray and try to maintain the same overlap. Scotchbrite it wipe it down and shoot it again.

 

To whoever got the obd2 scanner that didn't work, what app are you using?

 

Yea you can panel paint in a can

 

Thanks for the tips! Will do, may try painting it again and if it doesnt turn out better ill just try my luck wrapping the truck. Original paint is starting to get tired

 

10-4 I want to try doing the wrap also. I bought a big roll of camo and was thing about trying some on my truck. Good thing if ya screw up you can remove it easily.

 

Yeah i think it would be relatively easy, just very tedious. The 3M stuff i am looking at you can pick up and set it back down and refit it before you run over it with the squeegee. Im getting really tempted to give it a go and just do a little bit at a time so i dont go crazy

 

I got the 3M black multi cam to try on some dash parts.

 

I think others can, but im not sure i can

 

Thatll look nice! Good idea to start with some small pieces first to get the feel for it

 

What kind of paint gun are you using

 

No paint gun here.. i was using a rattle can. I figured i could make it look decent. I painted my camper shell with a rattle can and it turned out good, so i figured what could go wrong

 

That’s not bad, just put down two more coats and switch up the direction between coats.
