When I was trying to touch up the black primer I was at the end of the rattle can and it started spitting and messed up my smooth finish. That's what I get for trying to get every last drop of paint out of the can. So now I'm stripping it down and getting a new can of paint this is a one step forward and two back.

Was able to clean up the dump body and respray it. Also sprayed the sub frame yellow and chromed the bumper. I also have the host in place for the dump. Worked on cleaning up panel lines on the cab too and some more primer on it  I think I'm close with the clean up on the cab  Going to work on getting the glass cut and fit before I paint

Nice work on the sub frame and it looks good in yellow. Did you use the Uschi chrome powder for the bumper? Great results!

That turned out nice, what metalizer is it? I've tried both aluminum buffing and non-buffing but was not happy with the result (probably on me new to using them)

Updates on my progress I've painted the frame, added some chrome the hydr tank straps and more clean up on the cab pluses I drilled out the resin head lights so I can install the glass lenses and also cut out the front grill. Going to start working on cutting the glass out for the cab and maybe some color on the cab.

   Dan,

          You have this one looking really good. I like the bright yellow with the chrome bands on the tanks. The front bumper looks good .

it is coming together for you.
