Default Got a 91 s10 blazer 4x4.

I needed a winter car because my srt8 charger is not going in the snow, got my blazer on craigslist for $750. Currently not running because I'm waiting on parts but was able to drive it home. Guy who sold it said he bought off the showroom floor when it came out and kept it ever since, so I'm the second owner. He also told me the 2 door configuration was pretty rare but he might've been bull****ting me. Here's a before and after of my paint job, spray cans of course.

Can't complain about the job! I've seen alot worst lol. And that actually doesn't look too bad, I would add a few layers to make it last a little longer, and the blue will blend a little better and match.

Looks fairly solid, any big issues? Big plans with it?

Edit: the 1st gens are getting harder to come across that's for sure... don't see too too many

Only major issues I've had are obviously the rust which I expect on a vehicle this old and a few gas leaks. One in the back by the tank which I'm in the process of replacing and one in the engine bay by the metal fuel lines that are right by the steering column. Can't tell where its leaking and can't figure out what the part is to find a replacement. I'm assuming it's a rust hole somewhere. Surprisingly the 4x4 works fine. Might get some new wheels and put the steelie on the spare tire carrier.

The exhaust is missing about right under passenger seat, I want to run it out the side and up like a diesel stack, thought that would be cool.

That's not the first one I've seen with paint failure like that, what's with that?

Just not enough layers of paint thats all... couple more and it should be a little more "blended"

I've spray canned a lot of cars I've had, I'm getting better. I did the hood on my charger too. Might do another coat or two once I get it running. The only car that turned out really good was my infiniti that me and my friend powder coated in an empty parking lot. Fun times.
