DIY

There are a handful of dust specs embedded in the clear coat, but I consider that acceptable for an 18-year-old truck painted with rattle cans in an open, windy garage with a gravel floor.

I didn't realize to take one before I started sanding it but here's one from when I bought it. There was in total 4 dents on it and few stone chips that had started rusting.

I used Wurth zinc primer, SprayMax Acrylic base coat mixed to match my truck's color and SprayMax Clear coat.

With the 2K clear coat you take the red cap and attach it to the bottom of the can. Once you press it down it breaks the hardener capsule inside the can.

Way more than it needed to - but if I were to do it from scratch knowing what I know now, I’d say: 3 cans of primer, 5 cans of base coat, and 3 cans of clear coat. That’s 1 coat of primer, 3 coats of paint, and 2 coats of clear coat.

I had sanded it to 600 grit after primer but not since that. I might wet sand it with 2000 grit once it's fully cured and then polish it. It does look pretty good already though. It has evened out significantly while drying.

Around 300 euros and like 4 evenings. I'm going to do it again as I have a replacement door already waiting.
