Repainting a Mack

[Mack Trucks]

Here are some pics of a 1997 CH Mack that we repainted. The truck was originally a over the road truck with a sleeper on it. I took the sleeper off 1 1/2 years ago and now it was time to paint it and make it the farm fleet colors. I dont have any pics of once I got it all back together because I am still working on that.

Nice color. So what was invalved in removing the sleeper??

It was about 2 days work. you had to remove the old air ride frame for the cab and sleeper and instal the new one on the back of the cab. If i were to do a second one I think you could do it in one long day.

Nice Job! Looks like a PPG Fleet color, maybe even a clear-coated base. Great color too. :congrats:

Great color, great job.

I was afraid that you would hurry the job setting on your channel iron seat. It didn't look very comfortable.

Yes it is PPG and it also has 2 coats of clear coat. I must give credit were it is due I only did the grunt work, My bosses neighbor did the painting. We are also in the process of cleaning up the shop. When I get it all cleaned up I will have to send some picks of that also because it is a very nice big shop . Its not my shop but it is a nice one to work in.

I thought it was "If your not the lead dog the scenery never changes."
