Default Project paint stuff

Well i got got my hands on a booth this weekend. and a quart of paint and clear and sealer.

got busy tell me what you guys think BTW This is my first go at painting.

Picked this snuglid off craigslist needed a little glass work which i forgot to take pics off but the glass had split near the metal bracket in the front all the way across. lets just say it is a lot stronger now.










Why not The caps too!

80 grit and some Adhesion promoter







After a little gun time and some cut and polish here we have it. I decided to do the grill and rear bumper with the extra paint.





Redid the carpet TOO!

Looks good, how do the mirror covers come off? I wanna do the same thing, but don't want to break them.

they come off pretty easy just get a finesse stick thats what they call them at nissan were i got mine. its just a little plastic pry tool made of some hard plastic and just pry them off with a heat gun. they are held in with 3m tape and clips. mostly the 3m

Thanx everyone. yeah i am pretty happy the way it came out considering it is my first time painting.

made some rookie mistakes with soft paint but i gotta deal with them. there hard to see unless your looking for them. so i am not too worried. Hell its a Daily Driver anyways.

What me and my friends call a 15FT Truck
