Repainting!
Just about decided to repaint next spring if I'm still alive and well in Missouri. Starting to get a lot of little blems from rocks and the normal usage. When you go to a show those really stick out! LOL The paint has really held up very well and kept its shine.

Want to trade sheet metal...mine is ready to paint! This way I can have your old paint job since you are repainting...what difference does it make...ROFLMAO! I just can't imagine that...but show trucks are a completely different ball game! I have been told that you can get about 2-3 years at most if you are serious about doing the shows...after that they don't invite you back unless you redo the vehicle completely. Something about "yesterday's newspaper"!

This paint job is mostly about 4 years old. looks great from 20' but when you look at it close you can see the tiny specks from rocks and dirt hitting it. Thats waht ya get for driving it LOL. I will keep driving it. I have a very good body man that can match and blend very well.
 I am planning on getting new step fenders next spring. I can tell you along with anyone else that drives and shows that it takes a lot of time and work to keep one nice.
