Hey guys-
Considering a flat paint scheme for my truck in the near future. The paint job will be on somewhat of a budget, hopefully a few steps above a bomb can job but nothing real special. A professional will shoot it but I'll do as much of the paint prep as possible, with some guidance as I'm clueless when it comes to paint ect.
I'm looking for a proven combo to achieve a flat white finish. Anyone have experience with a bc/cc with flattening agent or flatten single stage paint? I know its frowned upon but maybe even a flat clear over an epoxy primer? It just looks so flat, haha.
Since cost is a driving factor and if buying materials for my friend to shoot the truck is too expensive, I may just prep and trailer it to Maaco(price break on material through quantity hopefully). I hear they can be hit or miss but good prep is key.
The truck has the typical early 2nd gen haze on the hood and roof but there is no peeling, primer or rust exposed. Is a good skuff considered adequate or will it need to be taken all the way down? Feathered at the rock chips and spot primed?
Any help would be great, thanks.
