A few days ago I started sanding down the old paint and started to prime what I have sanded. I'll keep the pics coming as the progress furthers.

What primer and what paint are you going to use? I did the rustoleum primer and the Rapco paint. Best of luck with whatever paint you choose. I recently got mine done and am very glad I did it.

the one in my avatar I completely disassembled and sand blasted the entire truck. Talk about an undertaking. But man did it turn out great.

I just used primer in spray cans. The first coat of paint used a whole gallon when I cut it.

Must be nice to have a huge - flat driveway.
I kept seeing that stool when you were prepping it sitting next to the truck - how can you sit and work at the same time.
It is great you took your time and did each section down to where it needed to be - your results shows the hard work - and it really looks good for what it is worth as an opinion.
Takes a while for the thinners to dry out and cure.
