My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

More great tips!
I knew I didn't need hi-build inside but I thought it'd cover some of the tiny scratch marks and imperfections and that I'd simply be able to scotchbrite the whole lot and be done. The orange peel is what screwed me and I should have stopped. There are a lot of compound inside radiuses in there!! Can't use a block to sand the bottom of a cereal bowl.
So.... beyond the obvious, I'm also shooting the door panels, firewall, backside of the fenders and under side of the hood all in Butternut. Bed wood will be finished with spar or similar. The top and back around the rear window will be white. I'm guessing a quart will be a $hit-ton of white (gotta do outside window frames on the doors too). How much butter ya think I'll need. The cross-fire is around $200ish for a gallon. If I gotta buy three straight away, that'll take me to the end of the second quarter in funds. The paint dude said that the cross-fire isn't accurate enough to exactly match an OEM color (blend) but will match itself very well. He also said that the colors are typically a tiny bit lighter than the good stuff and it won't cover quite as well. I'd sure like to just pick up a gallon at a time but don't want it to look like a quilt when I'm done!

Headed out to light the fire

P.S. "is that what you call it in WA?" That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Wrap your sandpaper around a paint stick, cut it down some if you need too. then you can get into some tight spaces. you can just fold the paper and just hand sand the dips and curves. for the white a quart is what you want, you will have some left. why are you gonna paint the door window frames white?

This is what I'm going for... I'd love to do the grill white too, but then I'm looking at MORE mouldings. Look at Cloud 9's grille. Thought about doing that too but dunno If I could tape that well

It's only a time thing. Take your time and you too can master the taping.
