EDIT: I just figured out the price for the paint job. The primer, paint, clear, gun, and supplies cost me a grand total of 335 dollars. Not bad at all!



Pic two.....that's the finish right there.

So that orange peel wasn't a big deal....started at 1200 and worked it right out.

Very nice finish white.....show room!

I didn't get home from work last night until 6, so I didn't get much time in sanding. I started on the hood though. Almost got the "center/cowl" portion done.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but my neighbor came over last week and asked me if I work on quads (four wheelers). I told him I never have, but I'll have a look. So, I guess I'm going to attempt to repair a couple of four wheelers, lol. He said he thinks it's the chains... but I don't know...

The chains ?

They aren't very fast without them...lol.

It's never just chains....chains and sprockets

Good to know, thanks Brew!

Apparently everyone in the neighborhood assumes I am a mechanic for a living, BTW.

Just a hobby.

I don't remember when I did it but I have ~12 of those accounts.
They are my actual Gmail account and ~11 gmail accounts I use for junk mail.
If everyone in here would subscribe their junk mail accounts, you should get many more subscriptions.
I also had some of those logged into a container and watch your videos for a couple hours each.
I gotta catch up, I don't think I've see the last couple. Just been too busy with life stuff.

Thanks Noobs! I have probably 3 of those subs. My work email, and a junk email too.

Well, this is a first :



The key was only partially inserted when I started the truck, and pulled right back out.

Fluke.
