    My big :cens up was I rushed myself and masked the bottom color to soon, and the paper stuck to the paint in some places. So I got to come in Saturday and bag off the top of the truck, sand the bottom and recoat. Added about four hours to the job :chair I guess whats important is I made it right :clappy

    nice job 😉 did you guys install the doors an do the other work to or just paint it???

    We got the truck in bits and pieces. It was all disassembled with a lot of pieces missing. It was actually quite the nightmare. Lots of small parts like seals and moldings were missing, and some bigger parts (the rims). Things like the Cadillac tail lights and roll pan were already welding in and installed (poorly). We cut off the old roll pan and instead installed the ground effect kit and molded it on. We really discouraged the lambo doors too and weren’t going to go with them till we found out the kit was already partially installed (POORLY) We had to do some cutting and welding to get the doors to open and close properly. :blink:.

    If it was my truck I’d do a lot differently but they say the customer is always right. :rofl

    The clear is D8152 Performance/Glamour

    I don’t have time right now but I’ll post some pics of it to show what it looked like when it first showed up. It was a mess, you guys will marvel at the spraybomb interior and crooked roll pan and everything else that got redone. Some stuff was done well the tail lights were installed fairly well. :pcorn:

    I do really like the lambo door poster :lol1
