Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Did you paint the base coat with the door lying that way? If so - be careful doing that- I sprayed a fender like that once with a high metalic color- and it didn't match. The Metalic in the paint lays out a certain way due to gravity, it is generally recomended to have the panel orientation correct when doing metalics, to ensure the best match. I didn't believe that until it happened to me. The fender matched the hood perfectly(when laid flat) but looked a shade off at the door. Hung the fender on a stand and repainted with the same paint- matched perfect. It might've gotten by for anyone else- but it drove me nutz.LOL

Not trying to jack your thread- Truck is AWESOME. Just wanted to share that info.
