This was talked a lil about on a different Thread....

Everybody said some kind of green but im not sure i like GREEN on a truck..

Anyway im Painting my truck it Currently has a Rattle Can Matte Black job that doesn't look very Good.... I was thinking maybe Gloss Black with White Racing stripes or something.....

Any Suggestions Would Be Great!!!! Thanks

flat black and neon green!!!!!

Well what's your budget?
Google john Deere blitz black and look at some of the paint jobs done with it
It's a satin black tractor enamel so it's really tough and would hold up to the abuse it seems like you'll be putting your truck through, it's pretty inexpensive too
A green two tone with it would look good haha

Why not just a black paint job?

My Budget is around $500 at the Most... and once i Spend my money on Bondo, Dent Removal, Rust Prevention.. and Paint i Probably wont be doing much Offroading anymore haha... and im looking at the John Deere Black now.... and it looks pretty good.... I might Consider that too

If you want a really good flat/satin finish and want a choice of multiple colors, pearls and metallic, the best route to go is Hot Rod Flatz...hands down. For a gallon kit at Kustom Shop, you'd be looking at around $170

Dude please do this. Satin black with neon green accents *so choice. You be the guinea pig, then I'll do it! lol

I think iveDecided what color im painting it now!!!!!! HAHA Im really liking the John Deere Blitz Black..

But i dont want to have to order offline if i dont have to.... Do you think my Local Tractor Supply Might sell it??

And can it be used in a HVLP Paint gun??

TexasRammer · Aug 24, 2012

I dont think tractor supply does, just john deere dealers. And from what i read, yes that will work. I read people just bought really cheap guns and it worked fine. Im really considering this too lol

MvZiC MaN · Aug 24, 2012

Ah well.. Im gonna search around online and all... I wonder if it would look good if i did my truck with this and then my Rocker panels in grey

MvZiC MaN · Aug 24, 2012

Thanks man!!!!!! I didn't find that site yet...it's the cheapest I've found so far....

Maybe I'll do that and then do my rocker panels in John Deere Green!!!!!

How do yall think that would look??

With the cost of automotive paint today, the John Deere single stage paint may be the only option you have if you want to stay in your budget.
Be sure to create a thread documenting your paint project with lots of pics, I'm sure we would all enjoy that.

Good Luck!

Before

After

With your truck being smaller you could probably do it all with one gallon of paint
You will need 1 pint of hardener an 1 pint of thinner for every gallon of paint(8 parts paint:1 part thinner:1 part hardener)
If your spraying outside an it's hot you'll want to add a little extra thinner to make it spray easier. Extra hardener will make the paint glossier and well harder lol
You'll need a good prep solvent/surface cleaner too, don't skimp on it

Good luck man!
