Slick 60's

Pretty good price guys, about 1/2 the price of my local paint store. It's supposed to be real good stuff too.

I believe Kirker sells Summit Racing their paints & primers, but not 100%.

This place is excellent for primers (and clears if you're going that far):

Compatible with virtually all paint systems and shipped right to your door at great prices. Plus they have excellent customer support and a web forum with loads of help.

I don't work for them, just sniff their fumes every now and then.

I'm with Max 100% on this one.... I use SPI and have for about 4 years... Best product for the price! Their black is the blackest black you can buy! Spray in bed liner is as good or better than Rhino. And the clear is the easiest to use. And you can call Barry the owner of the company on the phone.

Kirker is ok for a low budget build. But I wouldn't spray it on anything I wanted to keep for any amount of time..

I shot my bare metal truck with the TCP Global Kustom Shop Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer, it covers and holds great, but like most primers it has NO UV resistance (6 months in vegas has turned the truck a nice shade of dusty grey) Hopefuly I can get back to finish the bondo work and paint real soon.

I used it on my 65 slick, and waited a year to paint so I could maybe find a bad spot or two and (I did) it was great and looked much like the day we shot it. It's a little tougher to sand out but is a real water resistant primer.

Right off the top Summit doesn't advertise in CCT, but I can tell you I was really impressed with their epoxy primer. No lumps, covered great and dries fast and hard. I talked to the guys at Southern, but have not tried anything from them yet. I am anxious to try their products, I've heard they're good.

I have not used Summits line of paint or primer but I will say this... Take a look at SPI's line. That is all I use for clears and primers and bed liners. Their primer is the best I have ever used. I have used top of the line Dupont, PPG, Sherwin, etc and this stuff by far beats their primers out. Also their clear is the easiest (user friendly) clear out there and wet sands and lays out the best. Their bed liner uses different materials than Ryno or Line X and has UV protection on them as well and IMO better that the other bed liners. It is right up there with Line X for sure.

I am glade to read the good about the SPI Bed liners (I have yet to hear any bad about there products). I just bought 2 kits for the crew cab. I am going to use it on the under side of the cab to protect it and then in the bed once I get that done. I might even do the inside floor of the cab don't know on that one yet.

I was going to do rhino but just couldn't bring my self to leave my CC in someone else hands I just had to many nightmares... So thanks for the extra input on them maybe I will get to shoot it this weekend after all it is a long weekend.

PFM... I'm also doing the entire underside of my truck and I'm also using it inside as a sound barrier. SPI also sells the gun to spray bed liner with. I think it was $90 and well worth it. I'm also spraying the inner fenders so I can drive my truck all year.

I also bought the gun it was listed as $40 but they gave it to me for $30... Hopefully yours wasn't that high just for the gun. Sounds like a plan to me now if the weekend would only hurry up and get here.

PFM, for the bedliner it works great for under vehicles and inside fender wells, etc. It will keep the rust away, easier to clean and help with road noise. For the inside I recommend alternative Lizard Skin. Not the actual Lizard Skin product (it's way over priced) but making your own with Microspheres and latex paint from Home Depot or Lowes. It will help with noise but most of all insulation. Read up on it over at www.hotrodders.com forums and just type in the search "Alternative Lizard Skin" or "Insulation", or even "Home made Lizard Skin". You should be able to find a ton on this home made lizard skin.
As for the bed liner, you NEED that SPI gun that they sell. Do not even try to spray this stuff out of your spray gun or else you will end up buying a new one when it's over with. I have Ryno Lining on my 66 F100 and hate it. It looks like crap, fades and isn't half as nice as Line X or SPI in my oppinion.

BTW, if you run into any problems, go to the SPI forums (I am a mod there) and you will get plenty of help. Also you will be able to talk directly to Barry the owner of SPI who is very patient and a great guy who knows his stuff.
