ha ha, me too, my truck budget has always been around $300 per month if that, especially now with two kids in college (FYI the cheapest universities in California are the State schools and they run about $4,500 per semester just for the tuition alone, I was raised to value education so I share this even on this truck forum to help others out to start planning and saving, as getting this info out of these institutions without sending your kid there is like pulling teeth), so this month's money is going towards this new AUTO METER 2142 gauge bezel, new SYLVANIA H5006 low beam headlights (I bought the high beams already a while back), and a replacement door handle

next month I hope to buy a proper charging controller that will allow us to charge at most if not all charging stations (I will do a bit of a write up then on how this works when you don't pull up in an actual OEM vehicle)

man, she needs a new bed bad, but that's a project for next year, the greg is pooped!

Brake cleaner is a staple at Good Enuff Garage and I always like to stock up on it when it's on sale

[Gregski]

so guess who wanted to paint some parts today? but Cali had different plans

[Gregski]

when life give you lemons... make a killer turn signal lever !

W-W Super 270 Win

The .270 Winchester is a rifle cartridge developed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1923

things are about to get real

...

[Gregski]

fits like a glove


.

[Gregski]

and the Intellitronix standard aftermarket 3 3/8" gauge fits, as does the 2 1/16"

[Gregski]

wait... wait! what? no, no, don't tell me you is going to paint that brand new perfectly good looking bezel

[Gregski]

well she aint as dark as I would have thought, and I didn't want no sparkle farts, no where on the can did it say anything about being metallic

[Gregski]

can somebody help me find some dark gray spray paint please non metallic, please and thank you

this Rust-Oleum V2187838 Dark Machine Gray looks promising, but my local Home Depot insists I buy a six pack of them for $76 bucks I aint gonna do that if I haven't tried it yet


.

[Gregski]

either I have to have my eyes examined or me and the paint industry have a different definition of DARK GRAY !?!?!?

Ok Ok, even a blind fool like me can find a nut every once in a while. Here is you Metallic on the cans label.

thank you, you're right, darn it, how could I've missed that?

[Gregski]

alright, all we want is something in between these two colors, in gloss and non metallic

that glove box was actually painted with that Dupli-Color Trim & Bumper Paint TB102 "Dark Charcoal" ???

[Gregski]

saving this spot for pics of whatever results I end up with, I think my budget max for this experiment is $100 large

[Gregski]

well I really hope to have everything ready to put them four eyes back in finally

[Gregski]

well that's more better

[Gregski]

another so you wanna be a gangster moment

[Gregski]

this is what I think of when I go to sell a truck and somebody tries to low ball me

[Gregski]

Ready, Set... Go !!!
