A fine painting begins with a fresh canvas!

Just my two bits, since I prefer to do everything myself... it's a pride thing.

"Thadious J. Whoopee, You're the Greatest" Sorry, I couldn't resist. With that screen name you must have gotten this before now. I can't remember what cartoon it came from though?

As to the blasting, can we get more info about "making my own pressure blaster". I'd love to see how you did that.

4DSeven, You're right about a clean canvas. Your truck in pieces looks so clean - excellent! Not like working on a rusty old piece of crap like many of these trucks start out prior to painting.
