thanks man!

the checker pattern is really more to do with patience's then being hard i use the bare metal for the other color to make it easyer but you take it down to bare metal tape everything off draw your squares cut them out one by one and paint it then pull off the rest of the tape and clear coat takes a long time on smaller stuff like the shifter witch i messed up like 3 times but the glove box was the first shot same with the rear view mirror and the inside of the cab is flat black

[KroAutomotiveInc]

door panels are finished up man did they come out sweet!

[KroAutomotiveInc]

me






sanded them with 320 then 400 grit primed them then wet sanded with 1000







wet sanded with 1000 to take shine off for the black

[KroAutomotiveInc]

first coat

[KroAutomotiveInc]

Man, I love your truck... I like the little touches you are doing while going through and redoing things. Keep it up!! The outside black reminds me of one that I had that my dad used to own and it was given to me as my first truck.

[niterider65]
