So I've pretty much got it narrowed down to 3 choices:
-Satin green
-camo
-or the factory forest green
What do you y'all think I should do? Input is appreciated thanks guys!:icon_thumby:
 
om doing mine in an flat olive drab out of a spray can and it looks good but thats me the satin green looks good to
 
So the choices are green, green, or green?

I pick green.

How about safety green?

Probably spray cans. I think using a paint brush would take up some time but the factory green I'll use the paint booth and spray gun.
 
heres mine, rustoleum flat sage. rustoleum satin white marine paint on roof. green was rattle canned and roof paint was rolled on with a light pile textured roller.

Satin green sounds interesting.

Although, theres a bunch of versions of satin green....
 
why not the metalic green on the new fiesta's or camaro's

He's trying to keep the cost down.....paint doubles in price each time that you increase the looks/quality.....
 
rattle can it!!!!!!
Some guy used Plasti Dip Protective coating on his truck. The kit should come in basic colors. It was in the "RBV's Under Construction" (I think) about 6 months ago-
 
oh yeh forgot about him wanting to keep cost down. Can get a desent paint job done for $400-500 at Maaco shops. If you rattle can it by the time you buy enough paint to get a good covering & enough scotch brite pads to really scuff up the old paint you will have spent close to $300-400. And thats not including the masking tape & paper needed to mask off any windows or trim.
