Finally, after 5 years of building, my Son Dan has gotten his rpu painted and is starting to assemble it for the last time!!!
We sprayed PPG etch primer and then DP90 onto the whole thing, sanded that smooth, and then shot two more coats of DP90 on the top and bottom. We then flipped the body over and shot an epoxy bedliner on the entire bottom. This thing should last a million years. When that cured, we turned it over, sanded the body one more time, and then shot two coats of SEM Hot Rod Black onto it. We had 17 body panels to shoot, and we still have 18 bed pieces to do.
The last thing we did was spray the entire interior of the cab with SEM "Chipguard" which is made to protect rocker panels from stone chips. We tinted it with more black paint, and it left a nice textured finish on the insides. Most of this will be hidden by carpeting and aluminum panels, but mainly he wanted to protect the body from ever rusting.
Here are some pictures. Will have to do this in two posts because you can only put so many pictures per post.
