as we all know the paint is crap on are trucks has anyone had bad sun damage and fixed it without repainting the whole truck my roof and hood are bad i live in fl so trying to fix it on the cheap

 

I've seen where some people have wrapped the roof in vinyl as a stop-gap. Not sure you would want to do the hood, though if the paint is peeling/chipped, as it will telegraph through the wrap. If it's just the clearcoat that's damaged, a sanding and respray of clear might get you by for awhile.

The paint last 15+ yrs in hot summer sun of southern US.....that's not crap.

Ford's silver paint in early 80s that didn't stick, and fell off in 2 yrs......that was crap.

 

Agreed on both accounts. Oxford White sometimes wasn't far behind the silver.

 

didnt mean crap as if it didnt stand up it was a 22 year old paint that wasnt taken care by the first owner crap most of the truck is still good to go

 

Years ago I had a 66 ford comet Red that was oxidized bad. I used Nu Finish past wax and it shined up nice. Took about 3 applications in some spots.
