So i decided to have my painter come over and paint my 953. I didn't want it to look like everyone elses and had painted my other 953 like the cmodel so wanted to do the same. Had him paint the cylinders black to kinda like the d model cats really set it off. The yellow os just primer today were gonna tape the black off and paint on the cat yellow.
Few more pics yellow tonight
Its going to look awesome, how long did it take him?
Looks good, how much did the paint job cost? PM me if you don't want to post it.
About 1500 me buying ask the material plus i had done parts line xed. So ill have like just a little over 2k in paint and stuff. And bought all new gauges knobs arm rest so I'll probly have about 2500 on the while thing
He started on Monday worked Monday tuesday Wednesday from 8-4 then came back at like 7 Wednesday night put the black on then didn't work yesterday (thursday) and taping the black and painting yellow today
Laying the yellow. Might be going over bored on taping the interior sheet metal lol
First coat
Thanks for the info. I have never painted a piece of iron but that sounds like a good deal. Your '53 is in great shape, I bet it'll be top notch once your finished.:thumbsup
Thank you yeah. It should look really nice we just had a slight problem with the yellow. Lifting and wrinkling. Not sure why getting another gallon of yellow from cat Monday we think w got a bad batch because it was all seperated in the can the painter didn't wanna use it and against my better judgment i said mix it and spray it. Lesson learned
Finished with paint
That 953 looks good. Put up some more pictures when you get her dirty.
Looks too nice to play in the dirt, just park it out front and plant flowers in bucket! NOT!! Just wash it once in a while and it will look good for years.
Not finished but getting there still waiting on my chrome stack and a few more decals bit so pumped to have this old girl looking good
She looks good! I like those decals on the loader arms!
Where do you get your decals? Also, anyone else, where do you get your decals and is there any place where you can purchase the templates to plot (cut) your own vinyl decals? I have a 30" vinyl cutter to cut decals. Thanks
