Life gets in the way and truck projects get moved to the back burner just like everyone else here knows. The boy and I finally got around to taking apart the cab, fenders, hood, and doors into their individual pieces for what I hope is the last time. I spent all day Saturday prepping the garage for sealing and high build primer on the doors and fenders to be ready to spray on Sunday. I wanted to be able to spray both sides of the doors at the same time, so I built up some redneck panel holders out of my sawhorses with some long 2x4's lol.

First coat was a reduced epoxy primer layer to seal up the exposed metal and filler. I waited 30 mins and then sprayed the 1st coat of the Eastwood 2K Urethane with a little bit of reducer on all 4 pieces, waited another 15 mins, and did the same mixture for the 2nd coat. The final coat of Urethane was straight 4:1 with no reducer. It was super nice spraying the high build primer on the panels. I had zero issues using my cheap Amazon A610 gun with the 1.7 tip. It's super rewarding to see the panels with their final primer sprayed on. Are they 100% prefect and show quality, no, but I did all the work myself and learned a **** ton in the process for which I'm very happy about.

My hood and cab still need some attention. When taking apart the truck I noticed a couple of places on the hood that I missed putting filler on. The cab still needs to be seam sealed on the drip rail and the other joints around the door frames, and front windshield. I'm going to try and get the hood and cab sanded and ready for the same sealing/Urethane spraying this weekend.
