Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 6:10 pmAre you serious? No offense man, I've painted over sheetmetal with dents like that but that was on race cars. I've even rattle canned my truck when I was 16. I can understand if your on a budget but don't see using house paint as a good idea. I don't think you'll seal out the elements with that.

Nows a good time to hone the dent working skills- getting them out will make it look so much better! The truck deserves better, even if its a work truck!

Re: my 81 d50 getting painted
Posted: Tue May 25, 2010 5:57 amwell i did use tons of filler and sanded the shit out of it. i just needed the truck to draw less attention from cops, and so i do not have the little Mexican wheels that make little trucks look dumb so i dont know what merlin is talking about. i have 3 kids and no job atm. time and money is rare for me. so anything i accomplish im proud of. besides, its no longer a cop magnet like it was when i first got it. it may look a little trashy im insulted.
