I've not personally sprayed it, but I know ppl that have. They seem to like it, but they say it sprays a little funny. The only Sherwin Williams I've sprayed was their primer. Some nasty smelling pink chit. I hope it turns out well, it's a hell of a nice color. What are the specs on that truck?

That will be rather bulletproof. Can't wait to see it finished.
 
MTChevy and I just got done talking... and hes gonna order me some new wheel arches so that I can kind of Graft them in, so It will look kinda stock, but they will be higher up in the box... THIS will be COOL!!! I can't wait!

Just so I understand...does this mean you'll be keeping most of the original wheel opening's shape, while making it bigger??? If so, I had the same idea, and I'd love to see how it turns out.
 
what about getting the wheel wells that the low rider guys use, they are fatter and taller for when they beg'em.

yep, thats what I', thinkin.

as far as the fenders for "bags", i think it would be cheaper just to buy stock sheetmetal wheel openings for 80 bucks, for both of them. Plus, it's a challenge, and I've never heard of anyone doing it either.
