[QUOTE="jbrown1238, post: 13714904, member: 56552"] It is pouring rain outside and I am sitting here looking out the window like a little kid. I can’t go outside and play today with my toy truck so I guess I will think out loud and get my thoughts together about the upcoming paint work. Here is a tentative list of how it should play out. 1. After the body work is 100% done I will wrap the cab and engine compartment with plastic sheeting and then spray the underside of the cab with some Dark Shadow Grey basecoat I have left over. This should give a nice contrast between the black frame and the floor pan without driving up the cost of the new color I will need to purchase for the truck. 2. I will need to spray stone guard on both rocker panels and lower fenders to achieve that OEM appearance. 3. The rear window and brake light will need to be removed and the rubber seal around the windshield will need to be trimmed back so paint can be blown into the jamb. A new windshield will be installed at a later date. 4. I will need to power up the door windows so I can place them in the down position before paint. This will need to be done the old fashion way with a car battery and some junk wire. 5. Unless something changes, at the moment I plan to remove the doors and fenders, wrap the cab in plastic sheeting from the firewall back and spray the engine compartment. At the same time I will spray the inside of both doors as they sit upside down on saw horses with the outside sealed in plastic. 6. A few days later I will wrap the engine compartment in plastic sheeting and spray the cab from the firewall back including the empty door jambs as well as the outside of both doors as they sit right side up, wrapped in plastic sheeting on the saw horses. Spreading the work out over two days should allow for a much nicer finished product with less “dry spray” falling on some of the hard to reach areas. [/QUOTE]
