    I'm going to do this in stages. I'm going to start with the front bumper and see how it looks then if all is good the back bumper. If I still like it the wheel flares then last thing I'll do is the bottom of the doors.

    I have the front bumper painted already my hand cramped up after all the sanding and priming and caused me to have a run in the paint I also have the driver side wheel flare done it looks great. I'm going to get something to eat I'll try to get some pics up later.

    Here is a couple of pics of the progress. It's 104 outside so I'm inside taking a break from the heat and the fumes. I really stink at painting to by the way I could never do this for a living LOL

    Dude, you should come hang with me for a couple of days ! It was 103 the other day but the temp in the booth was 112, it draws air directly off the roof. At our shop, the body side has a.c that will keep it comfortable at least, the paint side has no a.c and with both boothes baking and radiating so much heat it wouldn't help anyway. I drink between 10 and 12 bottles of water a day and try my best to at least stay inside out of the sun. When painting in temps like this, I have to use the slowest reducers and hardeners so that the base and clear dont start setting up too fast. It takes some getting use to, thats for sure.
