    I finally bought my paint to paint my truck this spring. i'm still doing body work but i figure that some of it will need paint soon. i almost have my wood for the deck done(few more coats of teak oil). I bought 1 gallon and a quart.You guys thing that will be enough to get the inside and outside painted? The paint is Nason it is a brand of Du Pont. It is Eurethane enamel. it is a dark metallic green.

    Sounds good man! I hate bodywork, but of course it absolutely has to be done. I spent this weekend block sanding the entire firewall of my truck in prep for paint soon. I hope all goes well--keep truckin' and enjoyin'

    Hello Cowboy , what is the mixing ratio of your Nason? paint:reducer:catylist. Are you doing a single stage paint job or basecoat/clearcoat? Single stage metallic paint is much harder to control metallic orientation and does not leave much room for errors or wet sanding and buffing. I don't know your experience, just trying to help.

    Well my experice is well i have never painted a car/truck be for. As for the question you have asked i can't remember off the top of my head. It is a single stage paint. This truck will not be a top of the line show truck just a sweet cruiser.with a little bit of get up and go.
