    @Fless This truck suffers from the intermediate steering shaft rattle,not so much when turning but terrible when going over bumps. Is there a thread here on this? Ive tried the gear clamp but no difference thanks.

    Paint touch ups and rust repair

    Took it for a 2000 km trip 1200mile. Was awesome. Put the truck up for sale while I was gone. Sold as soon as I came back. Truck had alignment issues with doors fenders etc. I think it may have bounced of a deer or two. Any who found another LBZ ext cab this time with next to no rust. Yay. No...

    Sanded and buffed. Picked up a rotary polisher with a wool pad as my DA one with foam wasn’t cutting it. lol. The rotary does a much better job. A lot of work sanding 1000,1200,1500 and 2000. I removed about 75% of the orange peel with 1000. 1200 got almost all of the rest. 1500 and 2000 goes...

    3 coats base and waiting for the second coat of clear to flash. One run so far in second coat of clear. Definitely looks better spraying a little more wet this time.

    Paint touch ups and rust repair

    Working this am on wet sanding with 600. Spent a bunch of time blocking with 400 so this step is going much easier. I dust some black primer on and it’s easy to see where you’ve sanded and areas that need more. Getting excited. Mostly all masked off. Booth is pretty much done.

    All turned out ok. Had some orange peel so will have to sand and buff. On this next side I’m gonna try to lay the clear much wetter and see how that goes.

    Help reading codes.

    Ok thanks. Not really having much mechanical experience this seems to be not a big deal? Something relatively cheap to fix? Thanks again.

    Opinions needed on lower dog leg repair

    Another thing I’ll add is silver with any metallic in it needs to be sanded to 6-800 grit before base. And sanded well. Metallic will fall into any sanding scratches left over leaving a mottled look. It happened to me on my first try with silver. Thought 400 grit was good enough nope.

    Opinions needed on lower dog leg repair

    Ive seen the blender sitting on shelves,never tried it.Supposed to soften the clear so new clear can burn in? Have you used it before? Silver is one of the hardest colours to match/blend.

    Opinions needed on lower dog leg repair

    Hey how goes? Nice job on the repair. One thing I found was never tape a line for primer,youll see it when you paint it no matter how much you sand it. What you can do is fold tape,google soft edge masking, its a little better than straight tape. Whats the plan for base and clear?
