Default I HATE Paint!!!!

So i was working on getting the truck as much finished before Indy as i could until the final parts come in, and i decided to fix the scratch on the back, paint, the 5th wheel, the new light bar and some other things.... So i bought the same paint as i have when i did the fenders, shook the can for 5 min (it is metalic so wanted the flakes mixed good) and with the truck in another room i stated to to paint all the parts i needed to... It looked a little light in color but the paint came out good so i let it dry and took the parts to the truck Its a whole different shade, tint, color!!!!!



So i had to rush and get my oven cleaner and soak all the freshly painted parts, and scrub them with a toothbrush to get all the new paint off.....

So now i have to go get more paint tomorrow and try it all over again!! This is why i Hate painting!!!
Thanks for listening to my rant!!

(thanks mods for moving to right topic! Sorry)

Definately NOT my favorite part of the build. I do suggest purchasing more paint than needed in the original purchase. It helps to keep the color and consistency the same, if applied properly. The paint can be from the same maker and same distributor, but if it's from a different lot it makes all the difference.

Just a thought...

Aaron, even though i've never had this issue, I feel your pain. But if you want my honest opinion, if you paint the deck the same color, (same can), I think it looks good...But what do I know, I LIKE GREEN!!!

I'm not a big fan of painting either. That's why I bought the metallic edition kinghauler, the first thing I thought when I saw it was....cool, no painting required. I painted many static models in the past and what I find helps before shaking the can for 5 minutes is to fill the kitchen sink with hot tap water, let the can sit in the water for five or ten minutes, then shake before use.

i have ran into that problem before when i was into farm toys.the only paint that was consistent on color that i found was plasti coat brand. i did the hot water in the sink idea years ago with it and boy dose it lay down nice and dries quicker also.

I agree on the cans being all different!
The video idea is a good one! It goes beyond paint though, the prep work, how to sand smooth, base coats, primers etc...

I'm using testors one cost laquer usually sprays nice.this one just came out the wrong color

I was debating buying a spray fun.. I have a 90gal standup compressor with water trap.. Usually just use the air tools off of it. I always get runs when I spray even rattle cans. My airbrush broke or I'd empty the can in a jar and spray with the airbrush..
