Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Small parcel in the mail yesterday.

Thanks again @peteh1969 for making the effort for a total stranger.

I suspect many of you can guess where the name badge is headed.

The RocketPigs are actually left handers, or mirror images of the ones I painted before.

My mild OCD asked for them to all be pointing forward and Pete was kind enough to print off a new set.

Also included was the cars name.




I managed to snap one on trying to straighten it out gently, so added automotive double sided tape to fix it to the toolbox on tje rear.

Than followed up with black paint all over.



Then 4 very light coatings of silver chrome paint.



Once fitted to the rear of the Rezin Rockit they will be fixed to it.

But before that I need to paint the background out in black to allow the letters to “pop”



While I was down there, I decided to give vinyl covering the first kick panel a go.

Contact adhesive, light pressure, new Stanley knife blade and away we go.

Curve done first, many cuts to allow the best stretching and shaping on the curve.





Job completed, well, first panel done.



And fitted.

Yes, I know…...

Loads more to get done.



If the rest of the vinyl comes out this well, I will be very pleased.

Weekend tomorrow.

Lots to do.
