HR, your truck is really coming together well! The color is beautiful. Also, you can touch up your paint chips around the locks. With a non-metallic color like you have, it's really just a matter of building it up to above the level of the surrounding paint and then sanding it flat and buffing it out. Can even use clear coat for the last couple of layers if you need to.

Let me know if you are interested in more detail. I just picked up a great tip from a guitar repair expert.
