Sandpaper scrubbing is coming out quite well and faster than I fist anticipated if things keep rolling this smooth I should have her all scrubbed today as well with the windows and whatever I don't want to get paint wrapped up and perhaps even a layer of the foundation color.

Your brave taking that on..there's obviously no going back now. It does look good so far :thumbs:

 

[benlaud87]

Since I see you've taken your fenders off atleast once I have a question. Have you had to replace any of those clips that hold the fenders on the body? If so, did you use a generic autozone clip or did you have to order the specific gm ones? I broke a few today but I'm thinking I can make an autozone clip work

Holy ****! Brave man, you are a brave man Torres!

Fortunately I didn't brake any clip. I took my time taking them off and figuring out how they were attach and work...so idk where if they would work or no...only one way to ding out.

Holy ****! Brave man, you are a brave man Torres!

More like crazy lol but thank dude.

Ok everyone today I was able to disassemble the truck, sand paper scrub it, wash off all of the clear paint coat dust, and finally cover everything up that I don't want to Camo tomorrow...tomorrow morning and day it should be of just spraying and praying...praying that **** turn out as good as I imagine it on my head. Here some pics of everything ready to go and just waiting for the paint tomorrow...I might have to give the part a quick dust of...since it is staying like this on the open over night...

not masking the taillights/headlights?

I did a little after this pic however I'm trying something different with the tail light. I don't like how big the red color of the tail light goes from the side to the back and only the back part lights up...so I'm gonna paint them except the actual ports for the break light and backing up light I'll show more pics tomorrow as well if it works out as I plan.
EDIT: here's what in talking about
Idk if u can see where the tape is that's the only thing that lights up and there IMO should be the color red and white. I sprayed them tonight so I can apply an
Bother coat tomorrow...I'm trying to make sure everything else stay dark except the lift ports

I agree, I was thinking of ways of doing something like the cut jeep fender but the only major problem I see is the front one and the side markerights the part right there if not joint or blended correctly it would make the truck loos weird.

I thought you were going a Multi-Cam pattern at first and got super excited. But now I can see the bigger pics.

I suggest the mc for sure! The fenders and grill look like vietnam tiger strip for sure. Either way I like it as it is now. BUUUUUTTTTTT if you are thinking of every changing it again. MULTICAM!!!!!!

I am at a point in time going with different camo patterns but as of right now I don't have that much materials for advance pattern nor the skills...but yes multicam is in in the list my goal is to have the truck in typhoon krypteck camo pattern....but I need to make stencils and get an airbrush gun and differen tips etc...in a way this is a low budget/practice and learning experience as well, a solution for the eminent and constant scratches the clear coat paint gets and I was getting tired of buffering and waxing them out.

Any pics of the rear I would love to see how the tail lights turned out...

 

[Chocflip201]

I like the big pattern (body) better than the small pattern (fenders)

Ills get back to you as soon as I'm done spraying so I can remove the cover...we both see how that idea turns out XP.

I like both the big pattern looks crappy as it is since it is only the foundation back ground layer color, the final result would be a lot cleaner and defined. But seems lie, I'm going randomly stripe small lattern

I dunno man, I keep staring at the pic but cannot make up my mind, they both look great so go with whatever you think you will like. The great thing about spray paint is if you want to change pattern it's simple and easy.
