Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Scuffed the bedsides and resprayed this weekend, came out much better but still some orange peel. In my adventures of learning to paint, I've found if I over reduce the paint it lays down like glass but runs if I'm not careful. If I mix per manufactures directions then it doesn't run but orange peels. Still trying to perfect the mixing and technique. But I'm officially done painting blue.

Also bought tailgate lettering decals, and so far pretty happy with them. Took all of 10 minutes to apply vs hours of masking. We'll see how they hold up.
