that looks really good.

not a great pic, the pin striping in the white is not showing through, but after hours of labor and I mean hours (14 hours and 2 friends) wet sanding here is the end result......

Looks good. You could have painted it red and done the white accent stripe and had a Starsky and Hutch S 10... :smile5:. Just kidding. I know after driving a primer beauty for a while and then having nice paint, I almost walked by my truck in the parking lot.
The problem with a nice paint job - all of the chrome, rubber and stainless looks like poo next to nice fresh paint.
Hopefully when it's done, you can post some nice high resolution pics.

truck looks good . paint the inside fender wells next

[sgblazer2]

Thanks guys! I'll be going to the track this weekend, so I should have some video of it, if I dont forget the camera again...

[Diabolical]

Cant wait to see it run :)

[lsx10]

looks much better

[az03sonoma]

The new colors look good man! :cool4:

I remember my first paint job was the same with the orange peel... I painted my dad's 57 Chevy Sedan a Metallic Copper. Dried too fast, but was lacquer so we just sanded and sanded and sanded and....

It's a lot of work, but you can say that you did it yourself! I bet your next one will be better. Practice make perfect and it's great if your family and friends let you practice on theirs :10:

[sgblazer2]

thanks again guys!

while we were at the track I got some pics w/ the camera not the cell phone...
