Cheap Camo Paint job in Tech Library

[94EXPLODER]

Hey..
puttin serious thought into doin the camo green paint job from the tech lib..
my only question is after i sand down my paint thats on there right now, which is in pretty darn good condition...do i have to spray primer first before the cans?....it says they went from sanding to spraying...
Thanks!

your old paint is the primer... you are roughing it up so the new paint will adhere to it.

I'd recommend doing a solid base coat first.... I haven't read the article you are refering to so I am only throwing this info out there.

good luck, and take lots of photos!

The paint will stick and besides that's alot of work to put on a whole layer of primer. Plus if you do go the primer route you will probably use more paint because the primer will just soak it all up. That's been my experience.

ok what does he mean by a solid base coat first??

He means a solid color first. Spray the truck a solid color first and then camo. I camo guns and he is correct, do a solid base coat first and then start your camo
