Also the paint is not as smooth as all other areas, because you can't lay it on correctly
But looks fine, you can't tell unless you run your hand over it
The hardest part is getting the cab clearance lights off, and then back on
I've still got one to go,it ain't easy

For those cab lights, I used a specialty screwdriver from Matco that has a 90* bend in it close to the head. For prep, it was hand or block(if it fit) sanding and prep solvent/ tack cloth. For paint it was turn the flow up to heavy and the fan spray down to a tight pattern and hold the gun back a bit. Its kinda like those carnival games where you have to shoot the water gun into the little hole from just too far away, that's about the best explanation for that part, lol. And don't be afraid to lay it heavy there either. I don't miss that work!
Thanks! So it is doable, just not fun. Probably better than removing the camper or the cab I guess. Good info, thanks again.
