Looks good! What brand did you use?

 

That DOES look really nice. Gonna put some kind of cover on the bed??

 

Herculiner, sprayed on not rolled.........No bed cover for this truck lol, and no tail gate either. Since day one i have planned on running a tail gate net instead. The bed liner will compliment it nicely.

This will be more of a weekend toy/show truck so there honestly really wont be anything hauled in the bed of this truck. I could have gone with a slightly better liner than Herculiner but for what i am wanting it for, it will work perfectly

 

Decided to go ahead and coat the wheel well's, It's all about the small details 8-)

 

Wow, there's a major difference in appearance.... coat them with what?

 

That looks awesome, you do some fantastic work. paid a lot attention to detail I like that. Color match sanding is a pain in the butt, you could have saved a little time and gotten a couple of buddies over to help. Keep up the great work.

 

Curious what grits you used to sand prior or paint. Then what exactly did you do to get rid of the rough paint. I am new to painting but plan on doing something similar to my truck. Thanks!

 

Prior to shooting the paint i wet sanded the primer with 600 grit......I had absolutely horrible orange peel after the paint, and i ended up having to start wet sanding with 400grit in some spot's, 500 in others and then moved up to 600/800/1000/1500/2000/3000. But i would not recommend it, i had to take ALOTTTT of clear coat off to get it smooth. Im sure i will be lucky to get 1-2 year's of good use out of this paint job before i have to get it repainted.

 

Well, getting closer and closer now to being finished! Still need to get the exhaust fabbed up, Windshield replaced, wiper motor and plastic cowl put back on, replace a few rubber door seals, swap out my front tires with taller/wider rubbers, work a few little bugs here and there and that's about it!! Pulled the truck out of the garage today and gave her a small bath, my lil boy came outside and wanted to snap some pictures with his future truck.

Haha also took another Idle video clip, open headers X_X

 

From the pictures, it looked like your paint wasn't too bad to begin with. My paint is very bad with patches of sun-fading that reached all the way to the bare metal of the hood/roof. Curious how hard it would be to get it smooth with the rest of the truck that is painted
