yes sir,it's a pain.i did just have the paint rep guy i was waiting on,arrive a bit ago,he looked over the places i wasn't happy with,like the orange peel on the hood,the cowl piece that's a different shade than the rest of the truck,the messed up door jambs and bed,that i didn't want painted but he did anyway,he advised that to fix it and have it match,all the green from the upper moldings,up,should be resprayed,all around the truck along with bed and door jambs but there needs to be a bunch of time spent preparing the bed and door jambs in order that it look as nice as the paint on the truck,other than the hood and cowl.the original paint in the bed and door jambs was fine,if he had've followed instructions and left it alone?i have a guy,highly recommended coming thursday to see the truck,i spoke to him today.he said he can do it,in October???that won't do but i may not much choice.a real pain in the rear end.i will have to strip the nose off the truck to re-do everything under the hood but i'm not doing any of that til the paint is fixed.the guy who did it,said this was as good as it gets?sorry,that's not good enough.we'll see what Thursday brings?
