Just finishing up now. Got our second coat down and pulled all the tape and hardware.

We have never sprayed a sound deadener on top of matting before. I am pretty happy with it and think it came out great. The underside of the Cruiser is getting sprayed with color match SEM bed liner.

Man, I bet that sound deadening will really make a difference. I would love to have that on mine, but the work to do it right is insane. That's a great looking body. I'm sure the new paint will turn out great.
