Man that looks fantastic. I've never fooled with multi stage paint, only single stage enamel. Is the base / clear process hard to do?

Umm, 'hard to do' is relative to your skills, I suggest getting an old fender from a junk yard or a friend and just pratice and experiment on it. Talk to your paint dealer to get products that will work for you.

Oh man, don't hate. It's just an old truck right? :wink:

We got the bed and glass back on the truck today. Whew! the windshield was a bear! I wouldn't recommend that task to anyone. I probably won't post up any more pics til I get everything else back together, but stay tuned just in case. Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments. :thup:
