Not even close.

I can feel the finish line. 4 coats of clear on the back and it’s done, one coat on the front to seal it for taping. Should have another quart of Frozen White next week. Need to fit the gate in a few days to tape up the lines to match the body and then mask off the letters and shoot the...

Yea, no…:)

White in the middle with orange letters. I puzzled that too but finally just did it with what I had.

Sometimes you have to adjust. Planned on white, tape the letters and where orange bands were but the white gave me trouble so had to order more. Won’t be here till next week so we will do it the other way around. Four coats of clear on the gate back, hinges, latch’s tomorrow once FedEx...

White down with a reduced coat of UC to lock it down for taping up the letters and splits for the orange. Have had issues with Motobase and tape, not this time. Will install the tailgate to get the lines to match up perfectly with the body. Same for the grill.

Long road but ready for paint.

Wet 400 then base tomorrow. I can see the light.

PUI has a lot of interior parts. They are not quite the same quality but typically you don’t have to wait 8 months to get it.

More plugging away on the tailgate. 2k shot and blocked with 220. Tomorrow two coats of epoxy and wet sand with 400 and it’s ready.

:poke:

Sorry. Blocked out a couple layers of SPI black epoxy, shot 4 heavy coats, blocked it again lightly and used glaze to fill some issues then shot 2 coats of grey epoxy. Now if I hit black when sanding it is time to STOP.
