Had a request from a friends boss whom does asphalt work. He picked up a new 2018 Peterbilt 389 dump to add to his fleet and had heard about my services and IGL Eclipse industrial coating. So it arrived on Friday evening and bright and early Saturday morning I got started. The initial deal was for them to have the truck all cleaned on the exterior in which they normally have it nice and clean every couple of days. Unfortunately it had to go out on a job Friday so when it arrived it was a bit dirty to say the least lol.
No correction work was being performed here. This was more of a clean and coat type job.
First was to get the dump body and cab cleaned. No messing around here. Hyperwash, LA Awesome and Dawn were all used to get the grime off of this thing.
Next was the frame as that was getting coated as well. This took a bunch of straight APC, scrubbing and pressure washing to get the layer of grime off of it.
Once all the cleaning was done it was time to get to spraying. I used my Iwata lph80 with 1.2 tip at about 9psi. This lays a bit heavier and uses a bit more product but for this application it works nicely.
Once the frame was all sprayed it was onto the dump bed. Same process was used.
For the cab I hand applied and leveled as needed. Making sure to cover all the areas such as grill, bumper, air intakes, backs of mirrors, exhaust stacks. Also the wheels were treated as well. I did do a bit of polishing on the tank and battery box. For that I used my Rupes 21mm Mark ll/swirl killer mini, Rupes yellow pad and Mckees fast aluminum polish.
Then to dress it up. Hyper dressing on the tires lol.
16 hours later, 300ML of product and a serious payday and I`m beat! lol
