There are just spots not sanded enough and see gouge marks from the sanding. To worried about dents or anything just the big chips and gouges.

Are you just sanding it 60 grit then painting over it or going finer?

I love the color. When did you get this truck. How did you get that so cheap. I thought maybe this winter when i got the front clip off for the motor id sand blast and paint it the frame too. Maybe take the bed off but i cant paint worth crap i shake and get way to close.

I got it Saturday and a friend sold it to me. The color is duplicolor blue metallic. And primer is krylon grey. I set around 3-5 inches away and don't hold the nozzle down just spray a short burst as I move side to side. I've always had a knack for rattle canning. That's why I was wondering about parts from you lol the new one you got font happen to be dual tanks?

What are you using to sand it? I used a DA sander and used 80 grit for the real bad stuff and finished off with 220, but i also primed and sanded with 400.

but thats actually looking pretty uniform for a rattle can job, looks good

A black and decker electric sander, 60 for rough stuff and 100 for polish and last 3000 grit for final sand before clear. I might get it professionally cleared.
