I picked up my truck from the wrap place today. It looks brand new again!

It's obnoxious and I love it. I will post up picks when I get home tonight

Very nice transformation so far. My question, since you are going Full Blown pre-runner, are you keeping that bumper? If not, may I be first to inquire about taking it off your hands??

Great job rattle can-ning your sides. I am going to be doing mine this weekend now that I have seen how good it will come out. No MORE 3 TONE on my truck!!! Again, great job on the body work!

thanks... my advice is dedicate a day to it... take extra time masking every little detail from the tires to the roof and fill in the gaps in between the doors with straws or twisted up masking tape. I had a lot of over spray. Because I had so much rust, I really had to sand it down. Even when you think there is enough color coats add two more because if you choose to wetsand it, which I would highly suggest, the primer will show through if the paint is not thick enough. The longer you spend on it letting it dry and really making sure it on nice and thick, the happier you will be in the long run. Good luck

Unfortunately I have to keep my bumper since it is all one piece and I just need the top portion. If you had a red truck on the otherhand I would be much happier trading you for the stock bumber so I wouldnt have to cut mine up
