Painting a 47 Willys Wagon
 

Here I am hard at work as usual...... A friend of mine has a 47 willys wagon that him and a couple other friends have been restoring. I primed it before christmas and then we sanded it a few weeks ago. the purple that you see sprayed over the gray primer is a guide coat. I started painting it on friday, there are 3 colors. I should have the body all done by next saturday, then all we have left is the hood, doors, grill, fenders, wheels, liftgate and a few miscellaneous pieces.

First color is done......Now starting the second color.

more pics of second color

Using Standox basecoat with Standox HS Clear. I use Sata guns and i just purchased a Sata 4000 that i used for the basecoat.

I have 2 more colors to spray on the outside.

Very cool! Me and a friend are in the process of restoring a 1960 Willy's Jeep Wagon. We also have a 59. If your looking for some hard parts, let me know what you need. We may have them or may be able to find them.

looks great...what kinda tape is that? I use bright green stuff.... i would love to find something cheaper...cuz that crap i use is expensive....and it ends up in the trash in the end....

I thought this was an Offshore boating forum not an antique truck. Here Uncle Kevin I know sometimes you need direction in life so I will help you out.

You may want to post your pretty pictures of trucks here!:kiss:

Calvin,
I have fun taking cheap shots at you about you boat and truck but I can never say anything bad about your work habits or quality of work!!

Stellar work of art,,as allways!:cool:

Although a very respectfull comment, was there a little butt kissing going on....lol :drink: :drink:

Thanks.......Its moving right along

No butt Kissing,
Calvin only knows how to paint on way,the correct way.

should you be driving down to Michigan the pick up irishs 302?

Good knowledgeable painters are hard to find...the trade is dying. I've sprayed paint for over 15 years + and got out of it 3 years ago or so.
Ideally I want to go 34 feet +......and skip the 30 foot range.
Still looking and have my eyes and ears open....

is the deal with your 280 done?
are you boatless?

The deal wont be completed until this Thursday....when the check is delivered. There was some schedule challenges for the party involved with coordinating the meeting with their bank.
The fellow lives a couple of doors down from me and I was assured it was a go.:drink:

Sorry,...don't mean to highjack!!

Guess I no who's painting my southern bodied 77' silverado.... hey uncle caaaaalvin.....

Bring it on down.......My new sata sprays anything any color:drink:

You could get a six pack of your favourite beer, a can of black Tremclad and a small brush and roller set....:eek:

WOW, I liked things better when we could all say what we wanted to. This thing about being nice ???? :bsflag:

Howard,please be nice:eek:

Going to finish up painting the shell friday and saturday.

Who said you had to be nice. Feel free to say what you like. There is no censorship here.

Started on it late friday afternoon and finished it up today.

Great job Calvin, that thing turned out just like the photo Bob showed me. You should be proud of the work you have done. I have to say you have come a long way since the days at dodge....
