Paint prep Suggestions

If you feel confident enough, you can scuff that with 400 grit (wet).

Can you explain this a little more... I've never sanded plastic before and want to do it right. Thanks

UH yeah....you do. Scuff the plastics with the red scotch brite you bought. that will do just fine.

You need to rough the surface up so that the paint has something to adhere to.

Well, I was out with the with eraser wheel debadging the hoe. It definitely helps using the wheel but still took an couple dyas doing it in between work and the batteries dying on my cordless drill. I also had to take of the 33's I just put on. The 15x12 wheels are just to wide and I can't turn worth a damn. Going to put 6" lift on to clear. I've heard mixes reviews of 33's on a six inch lift. Is it ok? Put the old wheels back on till I get the olift next week or so......

ok heres what your going to want to do

pull anything and everything possible before paint, the more off the more adesion and less overspray on anything

pull your handles, window trim (remove mirrors to get off) grill bumpers, running boards anything,

what exactly are you getting for 1200$??? jambs? just the outside? base/clear or singlestage?

find out because if its single stage dont even do it.....

i paint cars for a living and if you were in chicago i would have done a sick ass paint job on your truck for like 2000$ and included all jambs, and atleast 2 coats of clear

Yeah its single stage. What should i be looking for in a paint? They tried talking me out of the more expensive paint and into some Du Pont 'nason' brand paint. They said it was single stage and it lasts longer.....
