Since my paint looked like $%*#.....

As some of you might recall, the paint on my truck looked atrocious. You could see the stickers from the company the truck was owned by, had alot of scratches and was just not good looking...So i took a couple hours yesterday and compounded and waxed my truck for the first time since i bought it. Alot of it came out really good! but other spots are beyond saving with out a respray.

before:



After:




looks 10x better now.....O and i also snagged up this scweet 8 ball!

Looks better. You should take a heat gun to those stickers to try and get them off.
