Yeah, that stuff wouldn't take off the factory primer on mine, ended up sanding

JayDubBlazer · 07-08-2008, 07:33 AM

Wow you look busy, maybe you should start your own DIY network show. Keep up the good work.

Big J · 07-09-2008, 10:57 AM

Yep, I complain but I can't stand just sittin' in the house so it nice to have stuff to do. Hopefully I have time this weekend to finish stripping the bedsides and get them in epoxy primer.

Big J · 07-13-2008, 10:30 PM

Made some good progress today. Finished taking the bedsides down to metal and started stripping the doors. I found a small amount of filler in the doors but nothing at all major. Epoxy primed all that I got stripped bare. I got a few runs here and there with the cheap-O gun I bought for primer. It just won't adjust right. Of course the 2.0 tip doesn't help either, lol..... Too much flow.... The tip I saw on here to put plastic wrap over the stripper worked great. The stuff cut way better than last week. I still used a stripping wheel on a drill to finish it up. Anyway, heres some pics.

Big J · 07-13-2008, 10:33 PM

and some more.

Big J · 07-13-2008, 10:34 PM

hgs_notes · 07-14-2008, 09:01 AM

AJs72K5 · 07-14-2008, 09:46 AM

Still can't quite put my finger on a color

**jamie72** · 07-19-2008, 03:39 PM

sounds good.... get ur done!!!

Big J · 07-20-2008, 07:31 PM

Minimal progress today.... It was one of those days where people were in and out all day askin' can you weld this up or can you help me change this tire or......... all friggin' day, lol.... Got the hardware out of the tailgate and started stripping it and pulled a dent out of one of my doors.... Thats about it.

**jamie72** · 07-20-2008, 07:39 PM

Glad ya didn't!

Big J · 07-21-2008, 10:37 PM

Got the face of the tailgate shiny. Thats all for tonight.

Big J · 07-27-2008, 09:14 PM

I'm gettin' close to shooting the epoxy on the doors and tailgate. All I have left is clean up and stripping the rest of the doors.

Big J · 08-02-2008, 12:32 PM

As long as it doesn't rain I should have my tailgate, doors, hinges, etc. all in primer in the morning. I took an old swing, ran a piece of pipe across the top and hung chain off of it. It should be perfect to hang everything off of and shoot at one time. I also have a set of 3rd row seats coming from Frizzle Fry. They match my fronts perfect. I was going to get a set of neoprene seat covers but I might just run them stock for awhile.....

Big J · 08-03-2008, 04:00 PM

Here we go, all the panels are in epoxy primer. Now on to the finish work. NOOOO more stripping, man thats sucky work, lol...... Paint stripping that is, lol....

DURRTY · 08-03-2008, 04:14 PM

nice rack

**jamie72** · 08-03-2008, 05:21 PM

Chevyman63 · 08-03-2008, 06:15 PM
