Now if I just had a truck to install this on!

Looks great! I may have to attempt this myself. Just makes me nervous.

It's a lot of work but worth it. I've read and watched some YouTube videos on ways to remove the anodized coating. I didn't try any of them but they seem a little easier than sanding it off.

Not much of an update.

I really like the gray on gray. It fits the project name. Cab trim turned out very nice. Are you painting the botwie or the yellow?? Either way, looks really good!

That truck looks good bro!!! I like the dark grey stripe you put on the truck I don't think the pictures does it justice, looking sweet man!!!

Thanks!! I plan on painting both the bowtie and the yellow but haven't decided on how yet. I was thinking about painting the yellow in with charcoal gray like the pinstripe and painting the bowtie a silver color.

Thanks Korwin and you're right, these pictures don't do it justice. Once I get the truck back I'll be able to position the truck with better lighting where I can get much better pictures!

Well I haven't actually got the truck back yet. I should get it next week. But we've all heard that before!

You gonna paint it yourself or have it done?

[jmag86]

I'm going to have it done, it's at a shop in Houston now. Going to have the motor pulled and dressed up, the firewall shaved and painted with vintage ac installed, digital dash installed and truck painted!

What color are you planning on painting it? Did you bag it yourself?

[Sodell]

Clayton, I refreshed my dash gauge/lights ect, $4 job to keep you busy? Got some great advice on this forum! It has a kind of cool halo effect with the white paint, and the dash lights are really bright now.

That looks really cool! Especially with your dash being painted white! I may have to do something like that.

You could use a silver for the face that would match yours, but paint the back side white for the light reflection. Thought it would be a good project while your truck was still in paint jail.

[jmag86]

No I didn't bag it myself but i redid something's after I got it back. And I'm going to two tone it, galaxy gray on top and bottom with a Brandywine red in the middle.

The only problem is that piece is still in the truck!

Sounds like a sweet paint scheme. Can't wait to see it!

Called the shop yesterday evening and they are supposed to start wet sanding and buffing today.

Trim looks great polished out & so does the rest of the truck.

I'll eventually tackle a tailgate band! thanks!

[Claytona08]

Here is an update. I went by the shop and they had the trim put on which I found weird because they hadn't wet sanded it yet. They said they will wet sand and buff it tomorrow. They are working on it tomorrow so I could pick it up tomorrow, that's if it's not raining. I also got lots of parts ready to put on it.
