1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Puget sound about an hour south of Seattle.


I've made the drive once, a person can make it from San fran to my work in 10hrs if they try really hard

 

Oh you're right by that city they named after the award winning Toyota truck!

 

Yup close enough you can almost taste what is affectionately called "the aroma of Tacoma"

 

Y'all have that bridge that fell down huh

 

The depression and filth are tangible

 

This is disturbing.

 

What a fine bridge it was the new one has been paid for years but the toll stays

 

I've been unholy my entire life. Not only am I a ginger, but an atheist ginger.

I did the roll-on stuff for my bed when I did it a decade ago. It worked well enough for the bed. I actually wanted the rougher texture for the bed, so that worked out fine.

For the body however, I'd really want a bit smoother texture than from what I've seen so far. But I really fancy the matte finish.

Maybe a wrap would suffice? Although that's even harder to patch when/if it gets scratched. I'm still undecided at this point. I've posted in older threads about how dumb the idea was, but it's starting to grow on me.

 

Ima get it printed on canvas and sent to you

 

Truer words are rarely spoken

 

I'd do a wrap before I did a bedline job. Hard to do yourself, and I've seen it cost a lot having a shop do it. It's doable though, or so I've been told.

Spray-on will give you a smoother finish.

 

It's a trail truck, so...

 

I will hang this proudly on my wall if you do, dead serious.

 

Pretty sure you got that backwards

 

Oh hey, you live by that lake named after a Chevy don't ya?

 

I’ll have to wait for another sale

 

Needs some cougar accents. Have you considered re-doing your truck in leopard print?

 

For sure, I'd do the Raptor spray stuff. It took an entire weekend to roll my bed, so I'd go spray for sure. Prep work would be the same no matter what, so I'd definitely spray that much surface area.

I just want to perhaps smooth it out a bit more from the spray jobs I've seen.

I like the finish that the plasti-dip I did for my fender flairs, but wouldn't consider doing the whole truck with that stuff. Would want it more durable, too.
