Re: BEFORE and AFTER

very nice! black [as you know] is very labor intensive but the rewards are HUGE! I'm a sucker for a clean black truck but it sure is hard to keep them clean .Jim

Re: BEFORE and AFTER

I assumed it had been painted until I read the rest of the post. What a diff!
I agree, that is a particularly handsome truck.

Re: BEFORE and AFTER

Hey Thanks guys.....yea ive been getting alot more complements on her now......It had been the dull looking black for over a year, until I figured out that sanding and buffing makes a huge diffrence.....it was my first truck ive ever painted so I had no clue that I had to sand and buff.....but man it made a huge diffrence.
