Post Stencils, Spray Paint...
Totally not related to MM but I have a Japanese mini truck that was painted white from the factory in Tokyo. I bought a Styx River stencil kit to camo the truck cab. The rest of the body has been bed lined etc. (see photo below).

Curious, should I just wash the truck and use a mild de-greaser on the cab then just start painting?

Should I sand anything first?

Any input / knowledge or helpful tips would be much appreciated.

You will want to sand it first. If nothing else, you want to scuff the surface. I would want to get down through the clear coat. An orbital sander will help with the job.

Thanks ranger. I called the manufacturer and he suggested a fine sanding and to apply a dove grey or khaki base coat over the white then start laying the stencil pattern down.

Those pieces of shit are horrible. That one looks newer. Maybe it will be better than my dad's. I hope you are 5'7" or less. God help you when shit starts breaking on that pile!

The AC in that one. Is it in a box under the bed or does it use a conventional automotive setup?

One of my buddies had the box thing under the bed and it stayed full of mud. He put this massive lift on it and it was never right. If he had not messed up the suspension so bad I think we could have dabbed up some sort of mud protection. Or relocated it. Either way he ruined that one. AC would be nice tho
