Pampered the Ranger a bit this morning - I had washed it yesterday but I still needed to clean behind its ears, so to speak. Some bug and tar remover where needed, a 303 Detail Spray treatment, Aero Cosmetic Rubber care on the tires, deep cleaning and detail spray on the wheels, 303 protectant on the fender flares, grille, mirrors and other plastic trim pieces. I even put some 303 on the side steps that I restored over the winter.

For a six-year old work truck, it still looks good.

My favourite fall colour is Shadow Black.
Duke, let me know if you get tired of black I have plenty of paint. :crackup:

Thanks Larry but I’m good for a while - just put a fresh coat on this afternoon. Whiz rollers hardly leave any overlap marks.

Back in the 70's I knew an old guy that used house paint & a brush to paint his 60 Ford. It was a fifty footer, any closer you could see the brush marks. o_O

Back in the 70's my neighbor used a pump bug sprayer to paint his truck.

Man, it was all red when he was done, but even from 50' you could see the inconsistency in the paint.

He was so proud of himself. His first truck ever! He immigrated from Cuba to Spain to Argentina, to the USA via Alaska, before getting where he wanted to be - South Miami!

A really nice fellow.

I took him all day to paint that truck and he was covered with red over spray. He stood in his bed to paint the top of the truck cab. His arms had to be tired when he was done. He did the job just off the road on his small front yard. He was constantly filling up that sprayer.

In the Navy we used brushes and rollers to paint the ship. Just like cars and trucks it’s a rust preventative.. I’ve seen some decent brush work that looked sprayed.

Our saying was “If it moves salute it, if not then paint it”.

Thanks Loren,

Clean them really well to get rid of the brown crap, then a generous coating of Aero Cosmetics Rubber Care. You won’t be disappointed.
