Paul: Thanks for the encouraging comments.
I painted almost all of the remaining body parts yesterday. Still gotta paint the topside of the hood and the tail gate but I had to do a lot of clean up on both parts.

Got the gloss coat on. Here in the photos this is about 6 hours after application so this is already nice n' dry to touch. It'll be another 3-4 days till I bring all of this out of the drying booth. I'm really stoked about how this finish is going to look on the completed build.

Thanks Carlos and Bruce.
I do love black paint jobs. Can't seem to get away from 'em.

Your work is phenomenal, Joe. Sincerely. That is truly a beautiful job of work with a very revealing and unforgiving finish. You added real depth!

That is some smooth, shiny and pretty slick-lookin' paint work. Nice.

Man, I am speechless! I couldn't for the life of me ever get a finish like that!
