However, I have been sanding dead paint off the truck and clear coating it. Today my wife helped with some sanding. We knew there would be original green paint on the tailgate..we see chunks of it all the time...so this is what she did with a sander today. It is a nod to the original...I love how she found the green under the white and primer. I think it will look awesome when I clear coat it.

The tailgate looks really cool....Are you gonna try and do that over the entire truck? Sanding some parts to show the original color....but the most important thing that I thing is cool is the Misses helping out

Anyway, kind of an overcast day today...waiting on the rain to come. So I sanded the cab somewhat getting ready for the clear coat over the dead and freshly sanded white paint. I need to scrape out the old seam sealer around the drip rail and reseal it. The green on the rear was mostly all there from where it was painted without removing the bed from the PO. Most won't be seen now after it all goes back together anyway. Still have to paint the windshield wiper linkage and under the cowl.

This is gonna look killer once you are done with it.....Im still in the sanding stage....LOL
