When will the Seahawks get back into the winning column? Looking at their draft picks it is like they really aren't sure what they need. (We know waht Dallas needs - new owner!)

So I am working on both trucks today….(Yota needs a good wash and wax...not as shiny as the Ram!)

After buffing, I discovered this quarter sized blemish. Can’t figure out what it is. Looks like it is under the clear. Might have to spot sand and repaint that spot and re-clear. Anyone have any idea what this is or what caused it?

Also, there was a run in the clear here. Sanded it off and buffed. Looks like tiny pinholes.

The blemish is probably a bit of water from the air line...... sand it out, and re-clear, should be golden.

Lookin' really good though......

Yeah, wash the 'yota.... looks filthy next to the Ram.

For the spot, looks like maybe had orange peel in the primer. When sanded and buffed, could have went through.

For the run, basically, they are pinholes. They show up cuz of sanding and buffing compound are in there. Only way to fix this is sand and repaint. Could try giving it a good wash and see if they "clear up" by the crap coming out. But, they'll still be there, just may look better than it does now. For awhile at least.

Comes down to that pride thing again.

Got electric brake controller installed and wired up and put rear bumper back on. My 2 5/16" ball sits too low so I have to get another with less drop (rear of Yota sits higher).

Also, I cannot remember where these came from. I know I took them off.... There are two of these. Anyone know what these are and where they go?

looks like the spots are from to heavy of clear coat and not enough flash time between coats. looking by what you have done so far you should be able to blend that in with no prob. nothing but fear and common sense holding you back. i have seen those two pieces before can't remember where they go, door parts?

I removed some door hardware, the tailgate, both bumpers, head lights and tail lights. So these part have to have come from one of those ares...but I cannot for the life of me find a spot that looks like these need to be attached there!

I'll double check around the doors tomorrow when it is dayllight.
