Re: Project Platinum C10
I actually called the tire shop to make sure they hadn't sold my rims and tires. I haven't talked to them in 2-3 months or so and wanted them to know that I didn't forget I had them there. The owner insisted that it was ok and he had plenty of room to store them for me.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I seen this hanging on the wall at the paint shop. I laughed when I read it because there were many times where I got aggravated because it was taking so long. After seeing their work and talking to people around the shop it seems they don't cut any corners or try and do the minimal it takes to get by. My only complaint is if it takes 4 months to paint my truck just tell me that! lol.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Minor setback. I went and looked at the bed Friday and there were six screw holes in the bed rail where the camper mounted that they were suppose to weld up prior to painting the bed. Well today they are sanding off some paint and clear to weld the holes up. Sucks but it has to be done.
On a positive note: They are going to be putting the front fenders, hood & doors back on the truck today. Plus all my trim was delivered Friday and the door handles came in today. The front bumper should be delivered Wednesday.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I wish you would've! They hadn't done much on it this week except fixing the issue I found with the bed. I know yesterday they had the doors back on the truck but that's it.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Called the paint shop yesterday. They had the doors put back on, front fenders and the hood all on and aligned. They are suppose to shoot the silver on the cab today, set the bed and get all my body lines straight and get ready to shoot the whole truck. He said that the paint should be done early next week (I've heard that before, several times)! After that they have to wet sand and buff the truck and put all the trim back on. I'm going to try and get some pics tomorrow!

Re: Project Platinum C10
Looks great. I am sure you said but I am being lazy and don't want to re-read 20 pages but what are the color codes for this. Is the top color close to the factory steel gray?

Re: Project Platinum C10
Thanks Korwin! rs74, I'm not sure what the paint code is. I just picked through some paint chips at the shop. I'll ask them next time I'm up there.

Re: Project Platinum C10
You are going to want something brighter to separate the colors. Think orange or red (my choice would be a medium orange). Since both colors are neutral, anything will work. A brighter color will give you more separation.

Re: Project Platinum C10
try it with tape and see if you like it. If not, you can peel it back off.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I think a gray type stripe would look good on it. I think it would go with the 'all silver' thing you got going. Looks good already, and hasn't been sanded and buffed!

Re: Project Platinum C10
Thanks Mike! It looks so much better in the sun and it's even covered with dust!
I am thinking charcoal gray because I didn't shave anything and I'm going back with the factory style trim but there is a part of me that wants to step outside my comfort zone! I will play with it today in MS Paint.

Re: Project Platinum C10
So I wanted to polish my cab trim and took some advice from forum member Sodell. I'm very happy with the outcome up to this point! Hoping to get the last piece done tomorrow. Steps I've taken...
120 grit flapper wheel in drill, 320g hand sanded, 600g hand sanded, 800g wet sand, 1500g wet sanded, 2000g wet sanded and then polished out with some Mothers polish.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Man I am with you on wanting to see it finished. I was actually near you earlier this year. I had to go to BullHead City and move my grandpa down to Texas. Flew to Vegas Friday morning, caught a shuttle bus to Laughlin and my grandpa picked me up there. Packed him up Friday and Saturday and started home in the U Haul Saturday night. I drove right through Kingman and caught Hwy 93 down to Phoenix. It only took approx. 30 hours of straight driving to get home, lol
