Bought this with a clean title to fix & flip, BUT after spending so much time on it I may just keep it. 01 Sierra, total invested $3,700, including SPI clear All dupont undercoats, worked on this off & on for the last month, in between customers rides. On to the pics!
Used bed $100, only one side was good
Used door complete, $100
Cab corner/back cab panel $300
bed cut apart
beside fitted up
cab corner/ rear panel off
all parts fit and welded
fixed all the rest of the dents
got rid of the tailgate spoiler holes, kept the handle
FAST FORWARD
Base coat dupont 8555, let it sit 24 hours........then flipped thru a magazine and chose a quick subtle paint mod, threw the blue/silver tuxedo stripes on it
And this is 3 coats SPI universal. I used to clear with a SATA RP, so i set my HVLP up the same. FULL fan, almost all the way backed out on fluid tip, take the regulator off the gun, set the air pressure "by ear" and HAMMER it on. THIS CLEAR IS AMAZING! flowed out great, minimal wetsanding needed, mainly just a few nibs. I'm reassembling this week, will post completed photos soon
