bed fixed and painted yesterday

I fixed the Barstow forklift damage, pounded out the damaged mud flaps, sanded, sanded and sanded some more.
I shot the bed, rims, reflector frames etc yesterday. Went thru about a gallon of CARC. I love my $9.99 harbor freight paint gun. She did the whole truck without a hitch. I like it so much I bought myself another one...when it went on sale for $9.99 again! :lol: :lol:

Next week it's bumper markings and TP50 etc.

RE: bed fixed and painted yesterday

I have heard that from a bunch of folks. I laugh because I catch myself sanding NOS parts because they have runs in the paint and I don't want someone to think I painted the runs. I've got to get over this!

I need to seek professional help!

I had some left over tan CARC so I re-shot my pioneer tools and mounted today with nice new straps from Saturnsurplus.
