Not The Type For The Exact Same Stripe!!!

[@jeffreymartin1892]

Thanks for the video. I'm curious about what kind of rivets you used to replace the wing rivets. Hucks require a lot of interior work, and I haven't found a pop rivet that looks good. Thanks

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Thank you very much! I use a 1/4" blind aluminum rivet that are meant for ford or gm window regulators. Instead of just bulging out on the other side...they actually split into 3 sections and blossom out like a flower on the backside. I have both 1" and 1/2" shank length varieties. I get them from amazon. But even they don't resemble huck rivets all that much.

[@bretmartin2826]

Great work. I would’ve chose a different color than brown if I’d been customer

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Thanks a lot!

[@corsnel594]

Yes: Was thinking of that myself - Brown - No..!!

[@gliderider7077]

Glad to see you removing the extensions off that!

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

we ended up removing many of them throughout the years. we removed them off of the 99 kenworth were doing right now, in fact! thanks!

How much this paint job costs?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

depends on the truck as well as the job description. each one is a little different

[@Nich_Pavelow]

Hey Ray!! I'd really like to get my truck to you and the boys. Is the wait and process difficult? How may I contact you?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Just message me through my Flash industrial painting FB page. There is a bit of a waiting list...but the longer a guy waits to get on it...the longer before his or her truck is under our knife. Thanks a lot!

you said it!

[@tonypatrick9362]

Where are you located and about how much was a job like that to do

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

upton, wy....population 1200. about12 on something like that

[@tossedsalad5532]

Great job thanks for the video

[@tracymankey9314]

Man you do nice work looks good could you not take the sleeper off first and then sand blast the frame all the way

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

we dont remove a sleeper unless we are leaving it off. thanks a lot!

[@tomogletree1]

Awesome! What does a paint job like this cost? What kind of paint do you use?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

it really just depends on the truck and the criteria. I use either PPG 2K urethane or Nason 2K urethane or Imron 2K urethane

[@tomogletree1]

We have never tried the PPG but spray Nason and Imron 2K every day. Thanks for the reply and keep the vids coming@@teams.t.e.a.m6214

[@jakeevans1259]

Do you use single stage paint?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Yep. PPG 2K urethane

[@tracymankey9314]

What state are you in

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

upton, wy

[@jaimenpitts1125]

you should get a huck gun and do the peterbilt hucks instead of rivits

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

I have had a huck gun for years. its a matter of having enough access to the backside of whatever you are riveting. plus, the 1/4 inch blind rivets I use are sturdy. Ive used them for years and never had a problem.

Where's your shop at?

Thank you!!

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

thanks a lot, Philtown!

[@stevekegerreis1962]

I really like how you added the extra fin on the side of the sleeper

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Hey thanks a lot! The owner wanted something original, so that was what I came up with

[@3sparewashers-lg3gf]

Random question I had: Do you prefer trucks with aluminum hoods, steel hoods, or fiberglass hoods?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Fiberglass all day long. No rivets...No dents... Endlessly fixable... No future chance of hail damage... The fenders wont crack at the edge like Peterbilt fenders do... No corrosion or rust. They weigh a little more...but still well worth it.

[@3sparewashers-lg3gf]

@@teams.t.e.a.m6214 I agree. I prefer heavy guage steel butterfly hoods, but those are long gone. Fiberglass is a lot easier to repair IMO. Those old butterfly hoods were nice and cheap if they ever got damaged, but alas, a bygone era.

[@bondo9380]

I'm curious to how many color coats you apply, i usually apply 2 to 3 but it appears you only shoot each color once. The finished product looks as good as any 2 to 3 coat finish out there if in fact one is all you applied. Thanks for your time in reading this and great work you're turning out.

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

It really all depends on the situation. I try to put down 2 coats...but oftentimes only do one over previously masked stripes so the line between the two isn't too thick. I dont show multiple coats to keep the videos shorter and to keep viewers from getting too bored watching the same thing over and over. Thanks a lot!

[@bondo9380]

@@teams.t.e.a.m6214 That makes a lot of sense, especially when using single stage because the build gets thick very fast lol. Thanks again brother.

[@rigocastaneda8615]

Nice job truck looks really nice!! I’m going to tackle that here soon on my 379 😳😬😬🤞🏽
