So onto to the back side. After primer I could see a lot of sanding scratches so some spot putty to fill. 8DE4271D-F743-4B59-9645-8BA21E4B7463.jpegDon’t have enough paint for this section. So spun the truck around and back working on the fuel door area.Gave the inside a quick coat of colour,now sanding the whole area with 1000. Hopefully get paint on before the weekend ends.EA744C64-0A10-465F-A885-11E186F9C570.jpeg4C2094BF-8132-4260-891A-9DD3CFE9A91B.jpeg

I’ve come across a few spots where the paint was bubbling. Very small but after wet sanding they have lifted off. Not sure how to go about this. I had some bigger ones that were there before I started. I filled these with spot putty. But that means primer and paint. These little ones I may get away with a dab of primer and paint with a brush? Not sure.

Trying to get this done and all I’m doing is making more work. 79CB317D-97EE-4F73-9FF5-370FE3564D26.jpeg968B3253-B0CC-4BD5-AA99-A915312406F3.jpeg

Maybe touch up with a brush, a few coats then maybe wet sand once dried.

Contemplating the clear coat,In order to avoid a tape line I need to remove my SLT badge.
Is it just a press fit?

Yup. Should be able to get it off with fishing line. Also, I was able to remove the adhesive residue with rubbing alcohol when I removed my side moulding to replace the adhesive on my '07.
