Roxy pink paint can turn a simple build into a true statement. This truck proves it.

What happens when a fast-driving, wrench-turning YouTuber paints her own truck? One bold transformation.

Lacey Blair is known for lifted rigs and fearless builds. This time, she tried paint.

She tackled her first DIY paint job and finished strong. The glow and gloss look unreal.

She used our Alpha Automotive Paint “Roxy” Full Vehicle Paint Kit. The result is a vibrant pink that demands attention.

Best of all, she did it herself. No booth. No pro painter. Just prep, patience, and the right kit.

The Spray Source helped make the process repeatable. Roxy pink paint made the finish pop.

Also, this project shows what a good kit can do. It keeps your steps simple.

Roxy Pink in the Spotlight

Lacey wanted a color that matched her energy. Therefore, she chose bold, bright, and unapologetic.

She picked Roxy, a vibrant pink from our Alpha line. Then she went all in with a Full Vehicle Paint Kit.

From sanding to spraying, she owned the whole process. However, the best results still come from great prep.

Watch the full process on her YouTube channel. You will see every step, start to finish.

How to Plan a DIY Respray With Roxy Pink 

Many first-timers worry about where to start. Fortunately, a kit keeps the steps organized.

Start by planning your space and timeline. Also plan for cleanup, masking, and drying time.

Next, focus on surface prep. Because paint is only as good as the surface.

Prep steps that make the finish look smoother

  • Wash the truck to remove wax, grease, and grime.
  • Remove or mask trim, lights, and badges carefully.
  • Sand evenly to level chips and old texture.
  • Clean again before you spray any product.

After sanding, wipe down every panel. Then let the surface fully dry.

Also use proper masking paper and tape. It helps create cleaner edges and lines.

If you rush prep, flaws will show later. So take your time here.

Spray steps that help you stay consistent

  • Apply primer-sealer in controlled, even passes.
  • Let each coat flash before you add the next one.
  • Spray basecoat with steady overlap and distance.
  • Finish with clearcoat for gloss and protection.

That overlap keeps color even across panels. Meanwhile, steady distance reduces stripes and dry spray.

Many bright colors look best over a lighter base. This kit option uses a white ground coat.

That said, always follow the included cheat sheet. It helps you track flash times.

Helpful tips for cleaner results

  • Do a quick test spray on a card first.
  • Keep your wrist locked and move your whole arm.
  • Start moving before you pull the trigger.
  • Release the trigger before you stop moving.

Also watch your lighting while you spray. Good light helps you see coverage.

If a panel looks patchy, wait for flash time. Then add another light coat.

After basecoat, clearcoat adds depth and protection. It also helps the gloss look richer.

Let the finish cure before heavy washing. Avoid harsh chemicals during early curing.
