Did not take pictures today, but will get lots tomorrow. The truck is fully prepped and has been washed (final prep) and is now sitting in front of the booth. We will be double checking all prep in the morning and in the booth it goes. I will get lots of pics before, during, and after the paint work. The bed is still in my garage and I am going to work on it for a while, if I can get it completed today, I will take it up to the shop and put it in the other booth and paint it tomorrow as well.

dude thats awesome! Cant wait!

If I was normal, put it together and drive it........I'm not normal, so lets sand it down again and add more paint to it!!

Did you just paint it the same color? :dunno:

Yes, I wanted to use the stock color as the base, don't have to repaint the jams, and it is a cool color that changes in different light. Now we will sand the clear down to make sure it is smooth and then we will begin to layout the artwork. once the art is sprayed, it will be re-cleared.

Believe it or not, there is a method to the madness.

Ah Gotcha! I just thought if you were going through all of the trouble that you did to prep it, that you might have changed the color. Trucks coming together nicely! :thumbs:
