Let's see your DIY Body Paint Jobs !!!!!

[CRUISER TIME]

Looking for members that spray painted their Cruisers. Could be any Toyota Land Cruiser Model, Rattled can or spray gun with the paint name and color code if posible.

Thinking of painting my cruiser. Wanted to see what colors other members picked out, and the outcome.

Should be a interesting thread.....


Thanks,

Looks good. Also want to give you credit for your mod on the fender flare mounting bolts, i take it that you got tired of the clips and the hard to reach bolts,,,,,LOL .

What bolts did you use and length ? Any chafting or peeling where the flares meet the paint on the body? Using the rattle can rusto paint, How does it take to outside weather and heat from the sun / engine? Just Curious,,, lol

Regarding prep work, did you sand all the down to bare metal, or just scuff off the clear coat? did you use any grease and oil reomover cleaner? Primer?

Scuffed the factory paint, and used primer where metal was exposed. Did one panel at a time wiping them down with TSP before paint. Paint has held up pretty well, except on the hood. But I think that's mostly because that was the hardest to get a good coat on since my arm isn't long enough standing on a stool.. Next time I paint it, I'm going to remove it to do so.

Flares were done bolt style, because I trimmed the fenders quite a bit, but wanted to keep the flares. If you compare it to a stock 80, you can see my flares are mounted much higher up on the body. I have since removed them. You can see all the info on how I modified them and mounted them in my build thread.

Tower Paint, automotive paint in large spray cans. The original paint codes. I don't have any pics from when it was shiny and just done but this is 4.5 years later.

The land cruisers long lost cusion Scuff with 400ish grit and shot a couple coats of rustoleum or krylon camo paint. It'll be redone with desert tan after It gets off jackstands.

I've always loved Olive Drab so naturally i sprayed my rig with it. Krylon Camoflage Ultra Flat Olive green spray paint.

and then i skull camo'ed it using the rest of the flat colors

This was a trial fit before i started on the metal work(the wheels are green now too)

Nice color,, was that just paint or did you add a clear coat? It sure has a nice glos to it. looks professional for rattle can work... nice job,,,

My son's dune beige 92 with classic white top.

Painted in my garage with PPG base coat and clear. Inside doors, hood and jams were done. Colors were: dune beige and white top; satin clear black hood black out, mirrors and moldings; gloss clear black window trim; Rustoleum graphite cleared wheels, grill and rear bumper trim.

All painted, sanded and buffed out in 8 straight weekends with my son. Priceless.

No gloss truck is as flat as it gets, it was just wet. It is far from professional, just got tired of the primer color it was before. Here's a dry pic, lil dirty.

If your trying to keep it somewhat clean I'd hit it with a coat of clear. My paint has stained over time and kinda faded. Also gas rips this stuff clean off, good thing it's easy to touch up.

I love the look of this Cruiser! Great job. Looks like you used proper paint gear and prep? I like the hood vents too!

Great work!
