Re: turbo task force

I have been messing with it for the past week, trying to prep the bed for paint. Im not sure who painted the inside of the bed before me but it was terrible, like a metallic purple (must've been a 70's thing).
Ordered a new blower motor and vent cables for the fresh air vents (old ones were broken). Got them partially installed. I test shot the paint that was color matched (used a preval sprayer) Figured i could knock out where we shaved the gas filler. It turned out great; going to let it cure and knock down the gloss, hardest part was the prep. Also shot the top of the DS fender.
Bought a 33 gallon compressor for my garage and will shoot the bed with a regular paint gun, need to block it out first.

BTW sorry my pictures suck, my iphone camera is crap (broke my newer phone and had to use the backup)





shaved valve covers, grounded down the coil pack nubs and filled with epoxy, coated with wrinkle black:
