Thumbs up Fresh truck **** :P

Some pics after the fresh paint on the hd hood. After drying more since last nite, some areas need some more detail, as the clear hazed a little bit, some scratches came more apparent. So gonna give it a one over at the end of the week. Also need to adjust the hood a little bit on the pass side. But other then that it looks great. Enjoy

Looks great!

Is it just the picture or is the passenger side slightly darker than the driver side?



Also unrelated... What size/brand tires are those? I think I remember you saying 285/50-18?

How many coats of clear you put on? If you have 3 you can buff it out.

Yah I have 4 coats on it. It has been wetsanded and buffed already. Since I did not have anything to bake it in, the clear is still a bit wet, and getting harder. i think by the end of the week it should be good. Hell my bed you could smell the paint for a month.

Thanks. To have a shop do this would have cost me 350 + in my area, then i would have had to take it to them. I have ruffly 160 in materials( dupont stuff), did all of it my self. So 150 and about 8 hours of my time, from initial sanding. primering, it was a no brainer. And have some more exp under my belt
