Hey yall I’m new here, just wanted to show off my 91

[bludgeoned27]

Just wanted to show yall my 1991 Ranger 4x4 I bought the other month. It’s a 2.9l v6 152,000 miles on it. Used to be used by the forest service. Already done a bunch to it! Replaced the clutch kit, motor mounts, and got a new exhaust on it. Super happy with how she looks already. Paint isn’t perfect but it’s pretty.

Speaking as a guy who also bought an ex-govt Ranger that's 15 years newer than yours, you non-salt-belt guys continue to make me jealous and question living in the northeast.

Paint looks awesome from where I'm sitting. Is it carbonized gray?

That's pretty nice...

Don't pretend you have less salt in Maine.

If I could afford to move somewhere on Earth, I'd move there.

Yes kinda! It’s like a carbonized metallic gray with some sort of flake or something in it, I don’t know what you’d call it. Previous owner did that. I wish I knew so I could get a can to do touch ups.. I’ll have to take a close up pic of the paint! I’ll reply with it.

Here’s some close up photos. Tell me what you think?

 

[SenorNoob]

Those close-ups look like Krylon Hammered spray paint to me...

Whatever it is, it came out really well.

looks pretty orange peel-y. Can be fixed easy enough.. just extremely tedious work.

Painting is annoying. Countless hours of prep, minutes of painting, then some more countless hours of cleaning & sanding.

I think it’s just way the paint is I don’t think it’s a user error, paint looks almost like it has a flake or sparkle of some sort too it.

That paint job looks way better than the paint on mine.
