Its not that bad doing the paint ,just time consuming ,i painted the wifes 71 in pieces ,took the overwelmness out of it ,painted the cab doors and fenders first with the hood off ,then i did the hood ,then the bed ,doing the tailgate last ,was less stressful this way for me ,and can do in the garage at home that way .A trick a body guy told me ,if doing base clear ,in the clear double the paint reducer ,they tell you on the can enough to meet emissions i think to get less spray in the air ,the extra thinner lets it go on with less thickness so it drys a little faster between coats ,helps it lay flatter also .You can also do the ruducer trick with single stage paints .If need any pointers shoot me a pm .

Ps Hows that chain sharpening stone business doing .
