No paint booth... The truck is at my dad's shop at his house and I don't have the luxury of dragging it outside and getting overspray all over my mother's yard, house, and landscaping. It's not a question of ability, it's a question of resources.

I spent about 10K on my K10 back in 95...but it still looks tip top and people ask if I just got it back from the shop.

One of my buds just had one done at Maaco with a couple extra coats of clear so that it could be watersanded. It looks near show quality right now ( or at least better then the average driver/cruise in vehicle) Only time will tell how it's going to look in ten years.
