I Kind of like the way it turned out even though it wasnt supposed to be that way lol. A lot of guys sand it down, add some body filler or a layer of fiberglass, then sand it smooth again. Its more work but turns out nice. Thats why I am only going to do the smooth surfaces in my truck, the WOODGRAIN. Yours looks good though!

taking that out and painting it is a really good idea, i have some paint for my truck but knowing my dad he'll bitch about me wanting to do anything paint-wise to my truck

i wanted to get a fresh coat of white put on cuz theres spots all over that drive me CRAZY but he's like "it'll be around $2000 minimum" but yet he knows how to paint and used to own a body shop way back. just nowhere to do it and he doesnt know how the new paint is haha

and no wait in hell im going to maaco lol

i think I may try one of those center bezel covers from MRK
