Painting A Bright Red Fat Fender Freaky Ford Panel Wagon

Handmade Wood toy Fat Fendered Freaky Ford Panel Truck

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.
