2 bottles covered it pretty well, but I used a 3rd bottle for good measure.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Bam, the undercoating looks great. Since you wrote that you'll spray it in the interior, do you plan to ALSO use Dynamat, Peel 'n Seal or any other kind of sound deadner as well?

I may have missed it but what prep did you do underneath? Blast/wire wheel to bare metal? Light sand? Or just wash and spray?

Yes I will also use some sound deadner. As far as the prep work all I did was apply over freshly applied epoxy primer. If you already have paint all you have to do is stuff it (lightly sand) and apply.

Yeah, got to tell ya that I cant stop thinking about that Green color that you are going to paint your beast. I saw a camaro the other day with what I perceive as a similar color, and it almost stops my heart. That Greeeeen color that you are going to paint your ride is Just beautiful!

Well I doing a lot but its nothing to write home about. I got the firewall all primed and block and its straight as an arrow and it made me smile for about 2 seconds.lol No really it came out really nice. I'm working a panel at a time literally. I been on the firewall for days, I blocked the dash, and just slowly making my way around the cab.

I hope the green is as nice as you picture it, I'm not so sure. If I don't like it I will sand it down and use it as primer and chose another color.lol Yeah I'm nutty like that.

Once again, no comment. LOL!!
Ok well I gotta ask, when will you know you dont like the color? After you spray the color, or will it have the wheels and tires on it before you can make a decision? Or, last one, will the color make a difference IF you keep the wheel and tire combo? You know I got alot of questions.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

I know how you feel Kabwe, I'm going to bronze plate everything instead of chrome and its going to be a yuck or yeah, important thing is making it your own and not caring how green or how much your sticking out (which I'm sure you know), just wanted to stop by and tell you to keep useing your instincts and keep up the good work, and I love the raptor liner job you did, makes me not want to use the Herculiner I have laying around, and buy the raptor system
