Got er back!
I got my truck back from the body & paint shop, with the base coat on it, my plan is to block the base coat myself right before its i have enough to get it painted with the final coat, and then when I get the money in a few months bring it back to get the final hugger orange sprayed on!

Re: Got er back!
Theres still a few rough spots in this coat, I was wonderin should I wet sand it out or dry sand? what grit should I use?

Re: Got er back!
There's something about a primered truck that just sets it apart from the rest :metal:
i'd leave it primed and throw the beauty rings and cap on the Ralleys,RED rims and Black primer:cool: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8...ruck041bn2.jpg |
Re: Got er back!
looks good..leave it in primer,,red rims,,,

Re: Got er back!
Yeah guys I gotta say I dig the primer too! I'm probably going to roll it in primer and red rallies for a few months. I am in the process of removing the springs, I'd I'm trying to figure out how to cut them, anyone know?

Re: Got er back!
If there are a few areas that your not happy with wet sand 320 grit and repaint.
esll. :) |
Re: Got er back!
Right on thanks for the responce!

Re: Got er back!
I managed to figure out a way to cut the coil, but I'm trying to figure out how much is considered one whole coil, because the bottom coil is almost all flat, where would I cut to remove one complete coil?

I'm glad you guys like it, I managed to get a few more things done today after battling the rubbing issues on the lower control arm. I put the front bumper on and the mirrors as well.

Re: Got er back!
well I measured the front passenger height and after cutting 1 coil I got no drop at all!? I havent cut the drivers side yet, how many should I cut now?
|
Re: Got er back!
DO NOT cut it again. Make sure it's seated in the A-arm correctly. Do the other side and roll it out. It will settle down....:)
|
Re: Got er back!
I wouldn't sand the primer either. Unless you sand the entire truck all one direction, you will have a different texture in the area you sand.
