HA! You'd just got that Yukon looking great! Methinks part of you must love the metal work and this gives you a new canvas for it. I was impressed with your work on the Yukon so I look forward to seeing how this one turns out. Thanks for sharing your work on these - I enjoy following along.

Ha. Yeah a sucker for punishment. So far I think it would have been easier to redo my kitchen lol.
Base and clear next. And I’ve got no idea. One thing I’ve learned is have a test panel and prepare to waste material to practice on.

Sanding,filling and tapping down highs. This high build with a guide coat sure makes it easier to make it all flat. Did another 2 coats of primer and while that cures I’ve flipped my truck around and working on the other side. Same as the other have to add pieces at the bottom of new panel.
Will have to figure out base coat with my HVLP. Have an old door that I’ll practice on.

Put these two numbers in an ebay saved search if you want the GM Accessory front and rear splash shields: 19212819 and 19212824

Actually, someone is selling the rear set for only $34 right now.

Truck is looking great!

Geez been a while. Life gets in the way. Have one side complete. Rockers cab corner and wheel arch. Have the other side all sanded and ready for paint. Hopefully this weekend.
On my first attempt to spray base coat I had everything ready. Laid down on my back to spray the rocker and bam Huge run. Man was I pissed. Had to call it a day and sand it off the next day.

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.
