What settings did you have on welder to make all those "hole" fill in repairs? I have welded some sheet metal, still learning...

Paint looks good!!! I think you should have just laid down the blue over the bare spots!!!

You DO know doing all these things during this season, you make all of us jealous that don't have the awesome So Cal weather!!!
Here is a pic of the settings (pretty sure I haven’t used it since welding on this truck). It wasn’t adjusted perfectly but it worked. Filling sheet metal holes is not too hard but it takes some practice.

I agree I wanted to paint the bare minimum but my friend took some liberty, and it turned out ok in the end.

I know right? It’s been unusually wet here this winter, seems like it’s rained 8 days out of 10 all year. I visited my brother in Cheyenne a couple weeks ago and was reminded quickly how good we have it out here.
