Magnetic Gray Thread!!!

What size wheel spacers did you use

 

There are some Mondays when I really miss going to work. Today was not one of them.

 

I am not using spacers at the moment but will probably end up using 1.25"

 

Beach days

 

Anyone know where to pick up gallon or quarts of MGM paint? I tried googling but couldnt find anything

 

I took the paint code and went to an auto paint shop. They mixed me up some on the spot.

The duplicolor toyota MGM spray cans weren't close enough for me. I could see the differences too much.

 

Hopefully I'll get the sliders put on today but I'm digging the clean look without the Predator steps.

 

Sweet, thank you! Mind me asking what you painted and how much you got? Goal is to paint my camper shell

 

I think this is my first time seeing this badass truck. Where can I follow along on the build progress?

 

Haha thanks man I appreciate it!! My build thread is here but I haven’t updated it in a WHILE. If you have an Instagram, I recently started a truck specific one @whineytaco , I’m slowly kinda going over the build since I got it on there!

 

I got a couple quarts. More than I needed. I used a paint gun sprayer thing hooked up to an air compressor and made a plastic sheeted paint room in my garage. I would ask the paint shop to recommend an amount depending on the object painted and application method. They can also sell you primer and clear coat. My shop gave me a lot of advice on how far away to stand while spraying, how many coats, drying time, and how to mix the paint.

I made my own satoshi grill. Being a 2015 I couldn't just cut the inner grill and attach it for the look I wanted. I ended up cutting all of the inner plastic out at the grill connection and made my own skinny grill lips from bondo and fiberglass plus a lot of hand sanding. In the process I fucked up the surrounding grill. So I sanded it down and repainted the entire thing. Screwed up the paint a few times and sanded it all down each time starting over from scratch. It was a lot of work but now it is where I want it and held up for a couple years.

Photo below shows satoshi grill i made, little skinny lips on grill surround, and MGM painted grill surround. It came out pretty damn close.

 

Seems like it was worth the process bc it looks awesome!

And really appreciate all the info/help
