Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Been a while since I've updated. Just noticed its almost a month. Made little progress in most of that time, but made up for it this weekend. I had redone the bodywork on the firewall (from AC test fit) and the door edges and got the truck shell reassembled again. This weekend started by getting the trim molding fit and drilled the holes in the aftermarket front fenders. Glad I did this before paint as I ended up filling a couple of the new holes when I wasn't happy with the fit.

Yesterday I scuffed the whole truck since the epoxy was well past the 72 hour window, cleaned with wax and grease remover and shot 2 more coats of epoxy. Then 3 coats of 2K primer. She's finally wearing a new color!

The 2K was setting in the cup almost faster than I could get it sprayed, and I was using a reducer. I literally had to mix enough for the gun, spray, clean the gun and repeat like 12 times. Took a LOT longer than I'd expected but its done.
