Has anyone ever painted over the two tone paint? if so can someone list the steps of what they did and maybe a before and after pic.

Thanks

 

The body of my truck is something i would hand to the pros to deal with. it has been done. I have also seen it rhino lined, covered with vinyl, and other options. take your time and search this out before jumping into anything.

 

i think i remember people talking about it they said that you either get that spot repainted and get the whole truck recleared or get the whole truck repainted, or else you can feel with your fingers where the paint "overlaps" each other

 

yea the last part is true. but on the 04-08 model there is a indent right where the two colors meet. so the overlap will not be noticeable if you just have that spot painted.

 

there was a member on here who was converting his truck into a saleen he had an 04 lariat i think that was black w/Arizona beige 2 tone and he got his truck painted, maybe you could search for him and ask him what he did

 

yeah i guess i need to call places to get a quote for two tone painted and entire truck cleared.

 

Finally something I can be the pro at, lol you can back tape on that line (take 2" wide tape let it hang down an inch over then fold it back up so the paint can creep under a little leaving a softer edge) mask the truck first then do the back tape so it can be removed right after clear coat so the edge melts a little. then just unmask the rest when its dry. They also sell a blending solvent that you can dust on that wet edge after you pull the tape to smooth further, I,ll do it on my truck (mock) later and post some pics for ya.

 

thanks bud, im not all too familiar with the paint talk so it was a little hard to follow, but i think i understand it pretty well

 

sorry I was road trippin today, (see post Harley22"s) go take pics now

 

haha are you asking me to take pics or was that a typo

 

No I said earlier I would so here goes,
#1 mask truck at faint line above indent
#2 lay 2"tape so it covers edge of first mask (black line)
#3push tape to upper INSIDE edge of indent bodyline
#4slide another layer of 2" tape under first sticky side out, lol takes practice
slowley pull all out till first section of tape is just in between edges of upper bodyline and boom, spray, pull 2" tape....
