Beautiful. For the B-pillar drain, what's the best way to deal with that so paint turns out right and the drain is still functional?

im gonna ask my painter. where is this drain?

Terrible light but you get the idea

I had to post those from my phone, sorry about them being sideways. The drain is on the lower edge of the half-cab where it meets the bed rail. Water gets in there around the top seal and it drains there on each side. I read an interesting thread here once about it, I'll see if I can find it. My truck was repainted a long time ago. I don't know if this rust is from the drain being painted shut or not. But you'll see a lot of K5's rust in this area.

For the record, if it's a garage-kept toy driven only when it's nice out, it'll probably never matter. I'm just curious about what painters do there or if many are even aware it's there.

BTW, I love seeing that you painted the entire tub. Can't wait to see the rest.

oh, I see, well I have owned 4 mid 80's blazers and have never seen that problem. But than again 55 years in hot sunny Arizona might be why. I think it's rained here 3 or 4 times in the last 55 years. LOL.
