I used all Southern Polyurethane products.

Yes, I did wet sand with 800 and then laid down another couple coats of clear.
and Im acutally doing the final wet sand and buff now.

Mike-
Nice Truck. I've read through both of your builds, and they are both outstanding.

I've got a question about your door jambs, I saw you painted the door jambs, it looked like before you primered the outside of the truck. Did you re-tape the jambs everytime before you sprayed the outside of the truck? I'm working up the nerve to tackle my own paint job, which will be a color change, so I'm trying to get the process laid out.

sand outside, primer outside, then paint jambs, then body work and paint the outside?

when i first started I took all the doors off and painted the inside and the jams. I failed to re-masked them every time I primed. so by the time I was done they looked awful. So when I was all done spraying the outside, I masked off the whole truck and re-shot the jams and doors.

If your talking just paint (color) I used 3/4 of a gallon, but that was mixed 1 to 1 with reducer to make it spray-able which would make it 1.5 gallons. Had I not used black primer, I would have used more for coverage. All together I used 2 gallons of black epoxy primer, 1 gallon of gray polyester primer, 1.5 gallons of base coat and 2 gallons of clear. all of that was mixed 1 to 1 to make it spray-able. (except the Polyester) What sucks is most of that ended up on the floor!

Looks killer great job on it turned out great. Keep up the good work on the truck. Good color choice with the black as well

2badgn · 11-14-2012, 08:40 PM

What kind of polish did u use after wet sanding?

*mrhino* · 11-16-2012, 06:07 PM

Im using Wizards polish. It works pretty good but It is a different animal compared to regular Buffing & compound. Its taken me a while to get the hang of it. but once I figured it out. WOW! it looks great. no swirls, nice deep rich black. with awesome reflection

check out my hood!
