thanks Cliff, I need to get some stainless polish to buff out some marks that the previous guy made when doing body work. He hit one of them with some sort of grinding wheel

does look nice from a distance, especially when the sun hits them,lol.

Some Jewelers Rouge will help get rid of the scratches and really make them shine. They different grades.

Major bling value! Those look nice, Roy.

Just enough bling for the truck; looks great Roy! You need to fly me up there to work my magic on the paint.

I really like the trim package of your truck!!!!!!
Still thinking of going black too.

thanks Austin yes, the paint is a big constant thing I've been thinking about. Would like to repaint black, but I don't want to have to strip apart the truck. Problem is it's orange everywhere!!! At a minimum I would take the box off to spray the cab properly, but the interior is a different story. Don't want it to look like a pumpkin!! (oh, I guess it already does, but you know, black and orange,lol)

Well if you clean real well and do a light sanding you can paint the door jambs and such with a small detail spray gun. BTW I sent you some reps.

Hi Cliff, doesn't the spray get into the headliner and stuff. I'm thinking they must mask off the interior to spray the inside of the cab, not just the door jambs?

thanks!!

Yeah they do mask it off with tape and paper. The results is well worth it if you do it yourself.

still don't know how well of a job I would do
it's one of the things I've never done, but I really would like it if it did get new paint in the summer

I'm new to it too. I can afford the supplies easier than I can paying a pro to paint it. I also plan to order some DVD from Kevin Tetz's one of the best fabricators and painters in the biz.

I know the color I want and summit racing has it for around $80.00 for a gallon but I am still looking at the other supplies.

are you renting a paint gun and compressor? I've heard of people using spray cans but it actually costs more! you'd be using like 15+ cans at around $10, adds up quick.

I need to get a compressor and I have been looking on CL not much luck finding a cheap good one. I already have a detail spray gun and I will keep looking for other tools I need. Pawn Shops are a good place to look I got a decent DA Sander for $20.00. Being on a fixed income really hurts sometimes.

the other big hurdle is I don't have a place to spray. could get one of those really cheap car shelters.

Yeah or in my case I will line the walls with 4 mil plastic in my garage.
