Re: my "71 C10 project

I just get it close and Hose it with Slick Sand. Much easier than fighting mud. Lets you smooth it all out with 150. Looks good!

Definitely have considered using Slicksand...even it it is just for the side panels. Should smooth em out nicely.

Laid on some Evercoat 2 part glaze...smoothed right out. Now for some epoxy sealer, little more sanding and then some slicksand. I am getting to the rewarding stage. My arms need some rest!

I'll take you up on the offer but probably won't be ready till sometime next week or we could do it next Saturday. You could even collect on that awesome tailgate. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you finding that!

Re: my "71 C10 project

What do you think about prepping out the doors and fenders to shoot slicksand on those at the same time? That way I can get all the lines perfect. I need to pull those doors to get the hinges done but I'll pull them anyway when I put the color on. I could do the hinges then. I'll have all that disassembled to paint anyway.
