Reverse Resto Has this ever happend with you?

It started with just a simple refresher paint job that I planned to barter in exchange for a nice Suzuki DRZ400 on C/L, but after meeting the characters that replied, I decided to sell the bike and use the cash for the paint job. I know a good painter but he’s really proud of his work $$. I figured that if I was going to have that kind of paint, I might as well restore the Cheyenne molding (I posted some pics in an earlier Post). Then, after seeing the restorations on this site, I got to thinking; As well I have the bed off, I might as well paint the frame under it. Now I’ve decided to paint the rest of the frame but the cab will remain on. I don’t really need the truck for anything pressing so I figure when I get it back from the painter, I’ll pull the drivetrain and go through it. Might as well do the suspension and paint the engine compartment too. I purchased Nason brand, two stage paint and Transtar brand clear coat for it but my painter has decided that it’s not his favorite so I’ll let him get the brand he prefers and use the stuff I have for the underside of the hood and firewall.
So, what started out as just a refresher paint job has snowballed into close to a full Resto.
Not surprised. It happens a lot with me.
