2360 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Aug 2017 The latest paint job. Tremclad semi gloss white, painted with roller, made a tarp from camo cloth, coated with a clear polyeurathane and couple of pin stripes, red and yellow.

2360 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yes, I did it myself. I framed up a wooden......frame with 2 x 4's and 1 x 4's. Bought the cloth at Hahn's military surplus in Vegas. Took two 3 yard pieces sewed them together to get the necessary width used a length of para cord at each end tied it off under the truck. On each side has 5 tie downs to hold in place. Thinned the paint down a bit to help it along. The truck was black before so took 3 coats to make look half decent. Bought some red reflective tape 3/4" wide and cut it down to about a 1/8", the fluorescent yellow was painted on by hand. Et voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
