I didn't paint my entire 80 but I did repaint the hood to fix the badly peeling clearcoat. I used some custom mixed factory paint in rattle cans followed by a 2-part clearcoat. Also rattle canned the black center section.

Rattle canned my son's '85 minitruck. Used some off the shelf Rustoleum that was the color he wanted and followed it up with some Rustoleum clear coat.

Does rustoleum make a clear in spray cans? Or rather what did you use to add the clear on these? Thanks

You could always try this method, I was thinking about doing this in this exact color on my 80 but will probably just use monstaliner to hide stuff instead. Hope this helps.

Yes they have Clear in spray cans. But the two part clear I used on my 80 was from an autobody supply and it was definitely higher quality.

That really turned out great!

 

[Jungle80farmer]

Two years later my rattle can paint is holding up great. From hot nutsac (Sacramento) weather to the middle of the ocean high humidity and constant rain. Living down 2 miles of dirt roads in a rain forest this paint has held up much better then expected. Prep prep prep and you'll be set.

Pretty sure he’s long gone, but I considered buying that truck in like 2012. From what I remember, it wasn’t really finished and it stuck out the back like a tail. Lol

The paint on your hood looks great Adam. In your post you mentioned factory paint in rattle cans. i am getting ready to paint my hood and would love to do it the same way you did. can you tell me where you got the prattle cans?

 

[MMaxim]

I did mine in single stage urethane from the Restoration Shop. Color is Shoreline Beige. Did all bodywork at home, but rented a booth to spray epoxy primer/sealer and the color. Came out good!

 

[jpoole]

Beautiful job, congrats!

I got the factory paint at a local auto paint supply store. I gave them the color code and they mixed it and put it into aerosol cans for me.

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.
