What type of paint and gun did you use?

Thanks. Im using a urethane basecoat with a 5 star classic clear. I ordered it off the internet from paintforcars.com. Im using a sharpe finex FX3000 gun.

Here is a pic of what the bed floor is going to look like. satin black painted boards with a charcoal painted strip. the strips will match the wheels I bought.

Dude!
I am really impressed with how your paint-work is turning out!
You should feel real proud!
WTF! Only 3 pages in & already putting it back together?
What did I miss?

close to being done, but are we ever done? Orielly auto parts loaned me their crimper for the a/c hoses. And I bought a new set of gauges and vacuum pump to get the vintage air finished.

I got my bed boards fitted, painted and installed. also got the rest of the side trim installed. I still have to get the tailgate painted and a new back bumper, but I have been able to drive it and enjoy it a little this weekend. getting lots of waves and thumbs up.
