thank you, it just came back from getting a new coat of paint. It looks good in the picture but when you see that weird reflection in person it looks odd. Its not a flash or flaw from my camera. That's the way it really looks. I'm not sure what not right about it. I sent it back. I think they never polished or wet sanded or it's still curing. Hopefully its better when i see it Saturday.

did my two-tone today, silver paint on bottom of doors, front fenders and post behind doors, dark blue in middle of bed and tailgate. will do the roof in silver eventually. truck looks better at least from 50 ft away or when its not very ligh out. lol. only way to get silvers and blues to match would be to paint the whole thing.
put my winter wheels on it today also.

before I dropped it off to be painted I had the interior and wheels professionally cleaned and detailed because I wanted to drive home in a clean new truck. They toasted the interior with dust and did a crap
Job of cleaning it. In my opinion, if you'e a professional painter you should recognize a hazard and take the necessary steps to prevent it from affecting your work. How hard would it be to plastic off the dash, cover the seats and put paper on the floor before you dust it out. All the door panels fit in big garbage bags. Then when you'e done, you just put it all back together with minimal cleaning, which would actually save you time in the end. I thought it was a industry standard to wash the panels to be painted with a degreaser before laying down paint as well. I'm not really impressed with this shop so far. I was hoping for a great experience. But it's been more like going to the dentist.
