In the paint booth
Well Grande Rojo is finally sanded. Tomorrow begins the miles of masking. Probably shoot the paint next week. I can't wait. I have done the functional things first, so its about time my truck finally looks good.
I'll post pics when its done.

Well, its all taped up and the trim colors are done. The rear door is gray and the bumper and steps are glossy black. We have to let that cure before we can put tape on the new paint and paint the rest. Actually it has to have red primer before the red paint. This is turning out to be a lot of work. All I wanted was for it to be one color of red. yeeesh!
check out how orange it is after sanding
