had some work done on my 79 and the powder coat seems to work very well, just saw the old truck since a friend bought it and the redone section after 8 years still looks like the day it was done...

did you do all the work yourself or did you have someone else do this, either way if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost. basically the reason im asking is b\c i dont want to do the sanding and grinding just to save 50 bucks (ill spend the fifty to keep from being deaf for a day and having black snot balls when im finished
