The key is the proper amount of overlap, and keeping that gun a perfect 90 degrees to the surface you are spraying. It's such a pain in the ass, I don't know why I'm going to put myself through this again. hahaha I just love the look of a suede paint job. I think your truck is coming together very nicely bud, thanks for sharing the build with us.

Thanks for the complement.It has been a long road just getting to this point. Today I installed my carpet, gas tank and weather strips. It cam out good except one wrinkle that I didn't have enough time to get out. Maybe tomorrow I can do it. Next is the seat. I think I will order it on the 15th.
