It's like a sauna bath man at these temps... I need a mask without the face coverage, lol.. Thanks anyway, this is the 2nd time in my life I do a semi pro. paint job on a car, the first was when I painted the pick up bed on this car in 2020 with similar results..

Good morning, I use fluid film (annually) from a spray gun. Completely soak the undercarriage and the inside of any floor profiles etc. - wheel wells. I like fluid film because with solvents I can wash it off, and I like that, for welding, etc.. While other, thicker, tar like substances are...

Passed the mandatory state inspection today with flying colors Now it's down to the minor details :) I did a paint correction too, really shined up the paint, looks a hundred times better, although the paint is not immaculate, but this looks good from afar now.

Back on the road for now.. :) Needs front mud flaps, some paint touch ups and front bull bar, aux. lights, rear shocks (at least) Narrower rims, these are 35x12.50R15 on 14" wide rims, 12" would be ideal. etc. etc. :)

It's down to the minor details now... rust repairs are finished, so now it's mud flaps, and running boards... I'll paint the running boards black with raptor paint
