It's called ATP? It was a kit of three guns for 80 bucks at my local auto store. I couldn't tell you if it's good or bad but for what I use it for they have turned out great. My arms are still sore from all the primering.

Wait till you start sanding. Is the biggest tip a 1.8? I'm getting closer to putting on some slicksand. Still trying to fix a spot in the hood where some fat chick sat. Your cab looks to be in good shape. Mine was a rust bucket. I should be getting my door bottoms this week. We'll see how that goes. I want to be able to get inside the doors and spray them.

I sanded a little and my son came over to help with some filler work. Slick sand sands real nice even with 150. Yes the biggest tip was a 1.8. As for the rust bucket my truck was that till I cut and replaced all kinds of areas. The doors I think are shot so I'm going to find better ones.

Here I thought your truck was one of those few that are rust free. You did a good job. I had to put $500 in metal in mine, plus another $100 for the door bottoms. Oh and I still need two front fenders $400 more. Next time I'm going to Arizona to buy a truck. Might cost alittle in gas but I'm sure I'd be money ahead. Later

Parts fairy stopped by. Brought one of my door bottoms, I ordered two. They said the other one was back ordered. I see they still charged me for both. Been working on putting filler on and then sanding it off. It's surprising how many little dents you find. Kinda makes me wonder why I even primed it. Almost used a whole can just on the cab.

Hope to get my cab ready off some slick sand by Monday. Still waiting on my "How build a chevy short block book". Get my steering column on the 27th. Been on the look out for some 6 lug 20". I don't know why everyone switches to 5 lugs

there's lots of good 6 lug rims?

Thought about drilling some holes in my crossmember. Thats about as far as that got. Fixed my door bottom and hung both doors. Still need to fix the bottom of the one. Cleaned off my transmission, pulled out my rear end, sanded on some stuff.
