25 Foot Paint Job

Sweet, I've done similar things to rusty cars when I lived in PA... makes a world of difference when passing by law enforcement or convincing a young ladies parents to allow her to ride in the vehicle. :thumbsup:
 
My youngest son has an '88 Ford F-150. When he shows up in it, the theme from Sanford and Son starts playing. He's had a run of bad luck and his older brother and I decided to paint his truck while he was out of town. Nothing fancy... just make it one color and look OK driving down the road.

Tractor Supply had Rustoleum "Farm and Implement" paint on sale. $30 per gallon. I chose "International Harvester red. Sprayed with a Harbor Freight gun after a quick scuff with scotch-brite. Took us 4 hours start to finish.

He doesn't know we did this and won't until he's back in town on Thursday.

Hose. . .
 
This is pretty funny... He just called his brother and said "we gotta paint my truck one of these days"...
 
He got back in town this afternoon and he loves it. He said it took a second to realize it was his truck.... He says the color is perfect. He's taking me out to lunch tomorrow.

Mighty fine, John. Where are the pictures with his jaw on the ground ?!?

Well.... That didn't last long...

He got T-boned at a 4 way stop tonight. The woman that hit him pulled some real crap and called a friend to say she was a witness. The cop was a huge dick to him and then to me.... I could not believe it. Made him blow into a breathalyzer. He blew a 0.0 and asked if he made the other driver do it too. He didn't. It was profiling.... No doubt.

Anyway... She hit him so hard that it screwed up the leaf spring and blew the tire. She spun him around and into another car.
