Those of you that read my posts know about my paint job saga. Anyway, yesterday, after the truck being at the shop for an additional 3 MONTHS, I have it back and it looks good! Now, I just have to put it all back together.
I will post pics once it is done.
Thanks,
Jerry

Awaits the pics! What color!?

Stock color which is the Dark Tourmaline Green. Looks blue in the right light. Should have pics in a week or two, once I get it assembled again. Spare time is short, these days.

So, I spoke too soon. Started putting the windows back in and started noticing lots of mistakes! Missing paint in the window channels (this area was specifically to be done) and the bottom side of the rain gutters have little basecoat and no clear with a HORRIBLE tape line. Considering I paid to have this truck completely painted including jambs and tapelines were discussed, and was agreed that they would only be in natural seems to minimize their appearance. I am boiling mad. This was their second go round and I paid BG bucks for this crap. They had it 2 months the first time, and then 3 months this time, when they agreed to take another "whack" at it.
Wish I would have seen this earlier, but I was focusing on looking at the problem areas from the 1st time. I didn't expect them to mess up on stuff that they did well on the first time.
No pics. Not until it's right. I'm guessing in 2098.
