[N2TRUX]

While the fender badges dried, I sanded the tailgate band with #220 wet. Once again, I made long straight strokes to ensure nice clean grain lines. Each time I used a flat foam block to keep the pressure even. I repeated the process several times using new paper each time to ensure I was getting nice deep cuts. I worked the entire band until every side was evenly sanded.

I rinsed the band repeatedly then air dried. Once completely dry I used fine line green masking tape to lay crisp straight lines for the accent band. With the perimeter channel masked I covered the band and sprayed the stripe with several light coats of Krylon Satin Black.
