Paint

[ChevroletShep]

I already have a stripe painted along the bottom of my truck that was painted back before I bought the truck. I need to repaint it because of a rust repair and general wear and tear on the paint. I am wanting to take a less expensive approach to the problem. Therefore I am looking for an alternative to having a paint job at a shop. Attached is a picture of the truck, I don't know if you can see the stripe or not. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you wanted to do it cheap, just buy a sticker roll of pin stripe and apply it. I would mask off what I wanted to paint with masking tape and sand it, prime it, base coat it, and top coat it. I think it would look very good painted, not just some sticker anyone can apply. You'd be surprised what you can do to stuff with some primer and paint. Even the most illiterate people can make something look good with a rattle can and some time!

If you're talking about what brand, I ALWAYS use a rustoleum, primer then a flat color, then I use any good quality clear coat (one that want flake overtime). I never cared for any lacquer, I always use enamel. Lacquer is just too thin for any use on a vehicle. Duplicolor is also a good brand.

You'll need to be more specific about what sort of suggestions you're after. If you mean "tell me how to rattle-can it" then you need to understand that paint coming out of a rattle can will NEVER look as good as proper automotive paint shot out of a gun.
