Lookin' good. Now comes the fun part, putting it together without scratching or chipping anything. Let the stress, oops, I mean fun begin. Have fun. It's gonna look awesome when it's done.
Thanks for the comments!
I have been patiently waiting its arrival....seems I might not get it back today .
Tomorrow and Monday may rain so I am still behind the eight ball waiting for the start.
You've waited for a long time to get to this point, don't get in a hurry now take your time let the paint cure put it back together perfectly as time allows
chipping new paint sucks !!
Actually no, the bed is getting a single stage urethane,the rest of the truck was sprayed with water based color and then clear coated the cab floor,steps and inner roof was first sprayed with por 15.
This will be my daily driver when its done and save me about 1/2, to 2/3rds the price of a new truck, considering what new full size trucks are going for, (not counting my time in those figures)
Nic, the paint choices were left to the body shop. My guess would be its ability to take more abuse since this will be my daily driver. Although the wheel wells have had some work and an effort was made to get rid of the loading swail just inside the tailgate the rest of the bed has just been blasted primed and painted.
I was able to get it home yesterday in an effort to get it wired and running, then its back to the shop for sheet metal and glass.
Thanks for the interest
