What are your plans for bodywork? Spray the bed to match the rest of the truck temporarily or go straight to hugger orange now? I think you'll like having the top half of the cab in white and rest in a different color.

If I was able to get to the bed this spring, it would just be a scuff and shoot situation, to match rest of the truck. Once I have the mechanical stuff well sorted out, I will be able to focus more on the body and paint.
I do like the look of the top of cab white, and lower hugger orange, I may get started on that later this fall, but it is most likely going to be longer. I feel that, in order to do a color change correctly, the cab needs to come back off and paint the underside, firewall and interior as well as the exterior. I will need to upgrade my paint gun also ( my old gun is a 30+ year old Devilbiss Jga 502, yes I bought it new…) I know excuses,excuses. But I do want to drive it a bit first.
