gamatt is a friend of mine, and I have been trying to convince him to debadge the Cobra for a clean look. He says I can have his svt emblems when I pry them from his cold, dead hands! The pictures look great! This is a super nice car that is meticulously kept...when he upgrades I am hoping for...

Thanks for the insight and advice regarding my truck. I am planning on trying the process again tomorrow if I can get to it. I purchased some new paper and look forward to the project. You guys keep me striving for a better look due to your great input! Also, I will simply refer to 2 Tim...

Well I picked up some more sandpaper and may attempt to get it flatter. Going to try a another test spot with the new paper on up and see how I feel. Thanks again for the help and comments.

Amen! If we cannot have fun and laugh, then what kind of witness are we? Looks good Matt. Mach 1 cars are rare, especially around here of that vintage! Thanks Flash. I think I could go on forever sanding more and what not, but I have reached my goal. I can always sand more later on...or...

sanded 105 applied 205 applied Sorry that some are small...not sure why this is?

gamatt is the brother of the lady I teach with everyday. He introduced me to this site and has been a huge help in getting me started caring for my vehicles properly. He was giving me grief because he cannot get the swirls out of his Mach 1.

Thank you! I did a spot test yesterday on the hood and it is getting there. Not sure how far into it I want to go. As the one poster stated, it will not be show car like, but that is not my goal, nor would I ever think I could spend $100 and get the best results ever. The truck is 20 years...

Thanks Sinbad. I have thought about selling this truck many times, but I can't much for it, and it is very handy. The peeling paint began to rust on the cab and it was getting bad...If I can get it to look good from 10 feet I'll be happy. Of course everyone is chiming in with sand it all the...

My apologies for the sideways photos. Feel free to just tilt your head as you view... Top to bottom is peeled paint on hood, stripped and ready for first coat, one coat done, and final coat applied.

I'll have to check those links out. Thank you. Pine Crest Baptist Church is where I pastor. Hopefully some photos are on the way........never done it without photobucket so....

I agree, he is a fantastic teacher. What church do you attend there in Memphis?

Thanks for all the tips, it has been a few weeks so I believe it to be hard, but I am not an expert...obviously-I painted a truck with a roller. I will be taking some more photos and get them up hopefully tomorrow if possible from before, during, to where it is now. I will most likely hand...

Thanks! I have been at this church 10+ years, they asked me to come be their pastor when I was 23. They are a great group of Jesus loving folks. They have been so kind to my family and I, not a huge church, but God is blessing. My wife and I went there when we were just married and now have...

Yes, I am a preacher. I pastor a Baptist church here in Cumming, GA. I also teach elementary school PE here in Cumming. Thanks for the advice and help. I have some redneck in me...some folks laugh at it all, but the cheap-o shops were quoting what the truck is worth to prep and paint it. It...

True! Of course this is my old 1992 S-10. I did all the prep and painting, as if that was not obvious. Truck is worth probably $1500-$2000 and I wanted to see if I could save it from rusting and get decent results for $100. I am in the sanding process, and it is working well. I am ready...

Paint is certainly thick...
