im not sure if i understand this feel op
OP here. This is my son's truck. (yes, he's mine) Heading to the paint shop in the morning. Getting a cheap paint job thrown on it, so we're doing most of the prep work ourselves.
The truck still has dents in the roof, but you really can't see them from the ground, so fuckit. Econo has a shitty $300 paint job special for trucks, and because we're doing the prep, it may actually last a few years. But fuck, anything's better than how it looks now. The left door and fender are black, and there was surface rust on the roof, and the clear was dead all over.
This truck has the quad shock suspension, sits on 31's from the factory, and has a 351 in it with 3.55's with front and rear limited slip. It'll pull a fucking house down. Interior looks fantastic, too, so a paint job will be cool. He's a senior in HS this year, so he'll have this truck when he moves off to college next year.
18 man hours of sanding later.
No wonder a paint job costs so fucking much. Sanding is a motherfucking pain in the ass.
