Looks good...matches the interior lol

 

Don't look half bad. You should get an 01 conversion and get a powerdome lol

 

well that is what i wanted but not in the way it was done on the inside lol

 

in time in time young one. i gota get other things done first and if you pop off about bigger tires im going to smack you..

when she is all said and done she will kinda look like this

 

is it just me, or does the black paint look orange peeled as all hell?

 

sssshhhhh....its ok......it is O...K.....

 

lol...

 

your right it dose but with one more coat then once i hit it with bed liner it will be ok

 

dude if you were closer i wouldve shot that hood for ya...im pretty freaking good with a paint gun lol...but it looks good dude!

 

thanx man i like it but i got 2 its my truck lol

 

lol..

 

not to be a dick, but i sprayed the fenders myself over the weekend and there is zero orange peel. and i used spray paint.

 

Must be the paint y'all used. More expensive paint means better ingredients. Higher quality things.

 

or that i took my time and did light coats. the bumper is painted with $.99 a can paint and is fine too.

 

i aint taking that your being a dick man.. i dind spray it on i used rustolume paint and rolled it on. when its all said and done that peal will be gone. i have done the spray on my jeep in the past and right now i kinda wish i did it that way but i needed to get the black down first so i could use the bedliner to match my rockers

 

Once you use the bedliner, it'll look alright. What kind are you using?

 

will be ok, just wet sand before you put more paint on and should turn out ok
it takes time

 

i have never gotten the hang of wet sanding..i always mess something up lol

 

you remember to use water, right?
