Had to do one more round of Satin Black to get some missed areas on the hinges when they are opened. Also needed to get a few touchups on the springs and forgot to do the radiator support brackets. Was also able to shoot two coats on various bolts.

Once I got that wrapped up and moved out of the way I started to concentrate on the front fenders. I had already painted them a while back outside in the shade on the side of the house after the third coat flashed off I had about 15 to 20 gnats on each fender stuck in the paint. I wet-sanded with various grits and used a nibbler block to get out all the gnats. At that point, the fenders looked really good, and zero orange peel after all the work. I wrapped them up and stuck them in the back of the truck bed thinking all I needed to do was buff them. After pulling them out several months later I felt they needed a few more coats so I got them prepped and shot two more coats.

In the next day or so I will be prepping the hood for paint, then pull the truck in and mount the fenders and inner fenders, along with a few of the other satin black items that are done.
