Pumpkin 40 Roller paint job

jsaltlick · 11-23-07, 01:53 PM

FInally decided to start up the roller paint job. It just snowed here the other day so the 40 sill stay in the garage all winter. Bought Pollux Orange color paint from ACE Hardware and a few matching spray cans from Tower Paint (for the soft top bows.)

Took a bunch apart. Painted the inside of the tub black since it was green spray-liner.

Pulled the roll bar since it was covered with Herculiner and was too rough. Gonna grind it and spray some black rustoleum on it.

Rims gotta go too. Going back to old style with the original hub caps

This should take all winter so I'll post as things move along!!!!

Had to spray one fender just for inspiration!!!

Note the urinal in the first picture below. VERY convenient!

A urinal in the shop you're my hero. The cruiser looks good to.

jsaltlick · 11-23-07, 04:00 PM

Shop also has air line piped thru the walls. Haven't bought a compressor yet. It's more garage than I deserve. heated 4-car.

they'll be able to see that thing from space! That is a really orange orange!

jsaltlick · 11-23-07, 06:03 PM

It's an original color....from the research I've done it's pumpkin orange. stickin with it and I'm also painting my M1101 to match!

nice

tglaser · 11-24-07, 07:23 AM

Just for clarification, you're spraying or rolling?

pbgbottle · 11-24-07, 09:02 AM

Dig that color. Good luck with the rolling.

I'm rolling 90% of it but bought a few spray cans for the soft top bows and for the hard to reach places. Yes, I'm cheating....

It's pollux orange. I'm guessing it's the same as pumpkin. I've seen that CCOT code before and the guy who came up with that formula would have had to match the color a couple years after he bought the truck otherwise the sun would have faded it to another color.

I'm guessing too that Toyota didn't bother with offering several shades of orange/ pumpkin to the public as standard colors. Nobody will ever have the real pumpkin code (if one actually ever existed) so I just used the Pollux Orange code since many people also think this is pumpkin. Either way it's getting painted whatever color is in the cans in my garage.

jsaltlick · 11-24-07, 01:41 PM

Got the first coat on. I HIGHLY recommend a primer coat. The parts I hit with primer went on very easily. The parts I didn't are gonna take a lot more work. All in all very fun and easy. Looks good too!

Better pic of the ol' pisser too.....

jsaltlick · 11-24-07, 01:45 PM

pi8cs of the first attempt!

jsaltlick · 11-24-07, 01:45 PM

few more

NOTE the difference between the cowl (primered) and the windshield frame (not primered) DEFINITELY use primer. Big difference

fogblanket · 11-24-07, 02:00 PM

John you are a mad man I can't wait to see it in person

rapovt · 11-24-07, 07:08 PM

This is interesting......

jsaltlick · 11-24-07, 07:26 PM

It's 9:30 pm and just did the dash and the inside windshield frame. I used the Tower spray cans to do that. Doing in between the knobs etc would have taken forever with a brush and wet-sanding in there....forget it. Went back with the can to hit all the small/tight areas that the rollers and brush wouldn't go. Well worth it. Since I had the gallon of paint matched to the spray cans it's all exact.

My dash is junk so I really half-assed it. Still looks great!!!

Wet-sanding to come.....

I've done all this in basically 2 full days. Not bad IMHO.

Engine41 · 11-25-07, 10:26 AM

Replacing the Bed liner??? You have no idea how long it took me to get some in green! Painting the rollcage was a mistake. I scraped my knuckles a few time on it. Other than that I miss it but have 76 coming.

Ha! I thought it was a cool color but having a green interior on a pumpkin truck would be odd. I sprayed it with black rustoleum. Looks like new!

The rollcage won't be too bad to clean up. I actually like using the old grinder anyway.

Anything else you can tell me about it???? It's a great truck!
