Jason,
I had to do the same thing.
I did this exact method to correct it. You can get it 95-99% there and then use a little filler to get it perfect

I’m painting most of the exterior a dark blue with the bronze under the hood, interior and around the windows like a factory cameo. Im hoping to have the cab done by next week. I’ll post pictures

I have finished adjusting the blue. I started with factory hermosa blue (right spray out). Then added blue pearl to get the flop and shade I wanted. I’m going with the top left spray out. Starting on the top, the amount of blue pearl increases as you go down.

Finally started putting color on sheet metal! I still need to tape everything off for the blue, then spray it. Followed by clear. Making progress :metal:

The dash… I started with the blue then sprayed the bronze. Now when I tape off the exterior for the blue the dash is done. Still needs clear. I can’t wait to see it with clear!

I like it without clear. For contrast you might consider doing the interior or engine bay in a satin or matte clear coat.

Looking good!! So you painted the inside first? I have to come up with a plan to paint in the future. Keep up the good work. Steve

Thanks Marc, I thought about that, especially on the exterior part, but I added a ton of pearl. I’ve added triple the amount of what’s in any stock colors. I’m not sure you’ll see it if I finish it with a matte or satin. I do think it would look sharp that way.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get 4-5 coats of clear on it without screwing up the steps/rockers. Thinking the plan is to clear everything but those until the end. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

You would need 2 people to spray. As your spray the other person is holding the hose and spotting you and you get in and out of the cab. I didn’t have another so I sprayed it base and clear the inside and sealed off the the inside and sprayed the base and clear on the outside. But since you already sprayed the base inside and out… then your going to need another person to help you out to be safe

I got creative since I didn’t have another respirator for the wife. It worked well!

Cab is in final paint. Just need to spray the raptor liner on the bottom and it’s done.

Here’s a video to go with the pictures.

The bottom is now complete with Raptor liner. Next is to Color sand the firewall and roof before I put it back on the frame. Figured it would be easier with no frame/engine in the way. I’m currently trying to get it reassembled enough to get my daily driver back in the garage :lol: It’s been in the 20’s in the morning already.
