FINALLY - bed inside painted!
After many hours of removing 34 years worth of dents, custom fill installation, sanding a heavy coat of primer off that lifted in areas (because I applied it when it was too hot).....I no longer have finger prints!!!!
....and I still didn't get every single dent out....left most of the pinch weld indentations. Just glad to be done with this part of the project!

Re: FINALLY - bed inside painted!
THANKS....for the compliments!
The easy way would have been to do a wood bed, but it seems I have more time than money!!
