I was going to paint it in my garage but my cousin pushed to paint it at his dads garage and I am happy I did.  no dust and dirt.   so excited to get the rest of the truck done now!

It looks really good. Cant wait to see it all together.

When I did mine in the garage there was some dirt from when the hose broke I lifted the garage door to throw it out side and being electric the start & stop knocked some dirt off the door & tracks.
I also had a bug land on 1 of the rear fenders.

To tell the truth I cant remember seeing the spots when I washed it the last few times?
It could be as the paint sets up, still off gassing, over time and flattens out they must have flatten out in them spots too?

I am happy the way mine came out and others have said its a nice paint job and when the ask who did it and I say I did and in my garage they kind of look and say right?

Color reminds me of my buddy's '78 F-100.  

That's a very nice booth too!

I'm really impressed with what you did with the Tabco stuff.  I'm going to look into their products.  Love the color too!

Nice! It’s so shiny I thought the reflection of the car was a dent at first glance!

I’m thinking of maybe changing the rims. Maybe some chrome lightnings.
