Nice thing about tan CARC is that if its tight on the truck, its like a sponge to new paint. I had a tan deuce that I painted 383 green ans the paint stuck like glue. All I did was scrub and powerwash it.

Your truck looks real good! These things sure are fun, aren't they! I'm looking forward to seeing the progress you make in the future. Good luck

thanks for the complimemts its been my dream to own one of these since 18 years old and was in the army drove my first one in Panama C.A. and been hooked ever since finly got my own. About the paint I was thinking of sandblasting a good part of the truck because there is a lot of paint build up and in place it is chipping in chunks I would like to hear everyones thoughts on this though

I would suggest trying a high pressure washer first, to remove the loose ( possibly all ) paint. I am talking about at least 5000 psi.

 

[jkelly66]

Never thought of that would be alot easier and not such a mess beside keeping the sand away from lubed parts

Using a flat fan spray pattern and holding the wand at a low angle to the painted surface you should be quite impressed with the results. Try a commercial rental business to rent one instead of buying or borrowing one.

good deal was just checking prices renting is the way to go
