Budget Paint-Spray Gun type! - 05/04/10 02:45 PM
Hello,
I am preparing to do a lower budget paint job on my 1989 Dodge Cummins. It is grey metalllic looking factory color for that year.
I am wanting to spray it some color that is close to stock and do it on a budget. I have looked into the various tractor paints, spray cans you name it. I don't want to roll it.
Anyone have any ideas on what type of paint would work well. I would like it to hold up for 2-3 years and be close to factory? It will be sprayed outside in 75 ddegree weather.
Currently I am considering Valspar tractor paint that is Massey Ferguson Grey. I am open to other ideas or brands. I am painting the outside of the cab only. Not the inside at all or the bed, since it is a flatbed.
Should I just hit the Napa store and get it all there?
Reasonable durability and life, not looking to spend a mountain of money.
Thanks, ROB
