Default Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

Building was kind of out of order. Did things in a not so very organized fashion.
Here are some quick aluminum bumpers i cut during my lunch breaks.









Mounted before i put the True Scale light buckets and LED's in.





Now onto trying to remove that old paint. I tried the oven cleaner in a bag trick. It didn't touch the stuff.
So i got some 99% alcohol to soak it in. It worked to some small degree. This paint was just not coming off.







Now i got it a little better than that last pic shows but there was no way of getting a super nice paint job out of it. That's when i decided this will be an old barn find and someone is in the middle of restoring it little by little.
So a two tone primer paint job and then some light weathering was in order.

I didn't document the painting procedure. Basically sprayed the whole truck with rust primer then masked off areas and sprayed with grey primer. Then once dry i weathered it with Citadel gaming paints.
so the next build pics really aren't about the paint but will give sneak peaks of it while explaining something else to the build.
