Best. Day. EVER!
I have a set of diamond plate running boards from a Furd that are planned for Frank but if the fiberglass ones make it here I'll put them on Betty (Da Momma's truck). Then both of my trucks will be sexy!

I'm going to shave the mirrors off the doors. He says we will weld washers into those holes, and then use short strand fiberglass filler on any welds.
That sure is a red-Chevy neighbourhood!I picked up a red 95 cclb dually in October that will need the same treatment. The previous owner packed the holes with filler only and it has failed.
Great progress so far! I am also considering a color change to black. I don’t have the patience to do it properly as you are, but because I also have red interior I’m thinking I may be able to pull off leaving the jambs alone. Anyway, don’t mean to hijack, keep up the good work!
I belive Wanda is an Akzo-Nobel product. Not sure about the Wanda but some Sikkens products are polyester resin based instead of acrylic resin based. One would want to use the entire system from primers to topcoats to avoid any adhesion or adverse reactions.I have heard that WANDA brand paint is very good, but people shy away because its not expensive. Im going to try it when I paint a little beamer soon.
Yup, most urethane primers will shrink over a weeks time.heres some painting tips.. allow a week or so between primer coats to see if there is shrink back..
Some primers are direct to metal some are not. The TDS sheets need to be looked at to see what's required. Unless sealing with epoxy under the primer no need to seal. The primer should be sealed prior to topcoat and many paint systems require a color coded tinted sealer.why 3 coats of primer ? also sealer should go on first,. or a self etching primer first.
I would use a medium coat of primer after the sealer and sand it with 600, then 800, then 1200.. at this point the primer will develop a gloss and you will see all of the imperfections.,
then use body filler to fill in the imperfections.
No need to finish out the first prime up to 1200 and then go back to 400. You're working your arse off for nothining.Prime it again after abrading the 1200, with 320 or 400, then reprime it with high build primer.
wait at least a week, then sand with 600, 800 , 1200.. if all imperfections are gone, lightly abrade it with 400 and shoot the first coat.
