Those pics bring back memories! We only think we know how big a crew cab is when we're washing it.......try sanding it!!!! It's freaking HUGE!! Shoo weee....but the end result makes it worth it...although when I was sanding mine at least I was starting to wonder!!
Looking good keep us posted with the pics! What color are you going with? Great job!!

 

[spencergt66]

No kidding seams like I've been sanding forever and then having to stop and fill the gun with primer about 10 times

Lots of square footage on these beasts.

 

[spencergt66]

That and gallons of paint

 

[spencergt66]

O I almost forgot, the color is going to be white still but not bright white should be more of an off white but still white just makes it easier

 

[DragRag]

Oh, I like bright white better, plus it will show better matching your jam color. I have had a couple of off white trucks, there ok to.

if you don't mind me asking. what kinda paint/hardener did you use? how did it lay down? what kinda gun? are you going to wet sand and buff it?

 

[spencergt66]

Im not sure of the exact brand Ill get it for you tomorrow but it laid down really nice but we used a single stage paint due to the weather we stated the other day with a base clear but due to the colder weather it would not ad-hear at all so the paint shop here said to use this polyurethane single stage and it worked pretty good I plan on buffing the paint to cut all the trash in the paint however little there is we used a Binks gravity feed gun for the job and took alittle over 2 gallons of color the paint was mixed at 1/2 gallon of color ( single stage) 16oz of reducer and 8oz of hardner I will take pics of the brands and type tomarrow if you would like
