Painting A Bright Red Fat Fender Freaky Ford Panel Wagon

As a toymaker, I love discovering new projects. Lately, I’ve focused on crafting handmade wood Fat Fendered Freaky Ford Panel Trucks. Building these trucks is a lot of fun, and I enjoy every step of the process.

I had been putting off painting, but today I finally decided to give the trucks a bright red finish.

I used flat bright red acrylic craft paint, which brushes on well and gives good coverage in a few coats. I chose brushing over airbrushing to let the wood grain show for a rustic look.

Flat paint hides flaws better than gloss or satin and dries quickly—a plus for projects like this.

I’m pleased with how these Fat Fendered Freaky Ford Panel Trucks turned out. Their playful look makes them a great addition to any child’s toy collection. Whether you make toys or love handmade ones, I hope these trucks inspire you to get creative.

This toy pickup truck is a larger version of the Play Pal little blue truck that I have made many times, but this one has fat fenders like many vintage pickups from the early part of the 20th century. My grandfather had a green one. A Chevrolet, if I remember correctly.

 

I cut the body from construction grade 2x4 using a scroll saw. Generally speaking, this kind of lumber is not suitable for toy making. However, I watch good pieces in Lowe's or Home Depot. I look for tight grain from slow-growth trees and minimal knots. Once in a while, I find a jewel. I also have friends that do construction work that keep an eye out for good quality boards or cutoffs.

For this toy truck, I made the fenders from some 1x2 premium pine I got from the Home Depot cull lumber stack, where they sell off broken or damaged or otherwise unsaleable lumber. Most of what I see in the pile would be better used for kindling, but it is worth taking a look when you are in the store. You could get lucky.

Preparation is the key to a good-looking finish. First, I sand to shape and remove saw marks using various tools. You can't do everything with power tools. There is a lot of hand sanding that goes into the surface preparation. All of the finish sanding I do by hand,

The body of this little blue truck is painted with a brush and Navy Blue acrylic paint. I apply paint sanding between each coat. When satisfied with the smoothness and coverage, I hand-rub with wax and buff it to a satin finish. Navy Blue paint usually takes three coats of paint. The number of coats depends significantly on the particular piece of wood I am using.
The wheels are finished with amber shellac. I mount the wheels in a drill and apply shellac with a brush until the shellac stops soaking in. The sides of the wheels are end grain that can absorb a lot of finish. Sometimes the shellac will soak through the wheels, The shellac makes a nuc more durable finish than paint, and it will not rub off like flat black paint.

The hubs on the ends of the axle pegs are painted with metallic blue acrylic paint. I used to paint these with a brush, but the end grain of the pegs would soak up all of the color and leave the metallics on the surface requiring several coats to get the color correct. Now I pain the pegs by dipping them. When I dip the pegs, I let them sit in the paint for a short time, allowing the end grain to be saturated with paint. The heavy coat of paint takes longer to cure, but I only need one dip. I have never had to recoat.
