if you hold the can with both hands it works kinda good, cept my right hand always wins, then the left gets mad, has a tantrum and gets a time out.

It's only depressed when the blower is out, lol. The rest of the time it's angrily looking for something to eat.

But like I said in the OP, the 3rd light is next. Its only a matter of time before I completely blue out the truck, lol. And yes, I will be putting in a custom grille with matching valance and Scoop insert.

Just back from watching James Tony tap under the duress of Randy Courture in the 1st round, lol.

The 3rd light is done, just finished it. The paint is in fact sprayed through a HPLV sprayer under about 27psi of compressed air, so its not comming from a spray can

LOL, it's all good brother. I love having the paint sprayer, well the entire air tool setup in general. I've been putting some of my cosmetic mods on the back burner and I decided it was time to knock them out.

Rich, that is a good idea. Before I decided to debadge, I think I will try tenting the tailgate badges and see how I like it.

I'm in the same boat as Trucky, I will probably have to get a new signature made. That sig was before my 2" drop and still has the chrome, lol.
