Didn't NY go through the same heat wave and drought conditions as Wisconsin did, in the beginning of summer. 60 plus days of 90 or hotter with out rain. You get the same weather as I, just a few days later.

 

I sprayed flat black automotive paint on my old truck and even that faded from the sun and mud

 

i did my front bumper in flat black but the finished texture and it hasnt faded and had it there since april and wheeled it about 3 times covered in mud and it touches up really nice too.

i am looking to do this paint on the whole jeep the only thing is it is hard to clean

 

I painted military vehicles (for Oshkosh Truck Co.) And the camo patterns would start to fade in a couple of months, of being outside waiting for the pick-up date. Which made touch work extremely hard. You would end up redoing the camo job on the whole side or top. Because the new flat paint doesn't match the older flat paint. Big PITA!

 

shoot man. 30$ professional looking spray job. buy two quarts of flat black rustoleum. thin it down with acetone spray it. clear over looks great.

 

I just got a jeep that was painted that way

 

How big of a compressor is needed for a paint gun? I have a decent paint gun from harbor freight and 2.5hp 21 gallon compressor. Also, what psi do you run at? Iv done the rattle can paint job before, as long as you prep it and its the right temperature it can come out great. Would like to try the paint gun next however.

 

I did it with a 5 gal at 55 psi, it just ran the whole time.

 

heres my old jeep that i rattle canned with rustoleum

 

Yeah i was just saying the majority of the year its not too hot

 

There is a reason why the inside of a solar panel box is painted Flat black. Or why snow melts off a dark colored roof faster than a light colored one. But You can paint it what over color, you wish. I've used a pancake compressor to spray paint. Just thin it out. If your going to shoot clear over it. You might as well start out with Gloss Black enamel. Save some time and materials.

 

I just did my raptor liner and when I was researching to find which product to use I saw alot of undercoating paint jobs. Everyone says they are great but they fade, that's the big problem.

Is that armor, spray paint, or undercoating/bedliner around the bottom and rear qp of your truck? Ive been debating on doing this to mine, that looks awesome.

 

thanks man and the black is just spray on bedliner

 

Flat paint with satin clear and holding up nicely.

 

Forgot to say it was done with spray cans.
