Well I was all set to weld the hood braces back in when I realized that you can see the back side of the front brace through the openings in the hood. I decided to shoot some colour on the back of the brace and underside of the hood before welding the brace back in.



Welded the braces back in, ground everything flat and did some rough body work before shooting epoxy primer.



I am really happy with how the colour turned out. I cut a piece off my old door skin and took it to the body shop supply place to get scanned. I thought it might take a few tries to get the colour just right but they nailed it first try! It will be quite a while before the rest of the truck sees colour so at least I can see it under the hood.
