Make sure the dog is wearing a respirator when you spray that bedliner!

looks great!

Buddy is the smart one he was inside enjoying the AC in the shop when I was outside in the HOT sun spraying the bedliner.

Yes I got it from SPI probably 7 years ago. That is the only gun Barry says to use with his bedliner.

I really like the looks of the texture. Its just the right amount.
 
Back in the booth after Brian taped everything again.

Since we are not going to be using a hood latch I had to do something with this

I had some fiberglass left over from the flares so I bonded it to the hood.

The back side of the hood was not very flat so I spent some time block sanding

Brian is not very happy stripping the dash than taping the body so I can spray epoxy than SPI Hot Rod Black on the dash

The fenders will be wet sanded and than more clear.

I epoxy primed the doors and body and was planing on spraying base on the doors but a cold front has come through and it's to cold to spray with no heat in the shop. I will have fun wet sanding the body today

Nice to see some color! -8*F here right now, the heat has been on since September.
 
Looks really good!
I have a few questions about your painting process :
You finish the slicksand with 180 grit, then 2 coats of unreduced epoxy, wet sand that with 600 grit, then topcoat with base?
I'm looking to streamline my process and your methods make sense! Thanks.
