Here's a few pics of my 03 2500hd, it was light pewter metallic. Was supposed to be 2 toned, ill add those pics too. The color now is infrared, has a flop to it and in certain light it's orangish to maroon.. Pics are before, during and after the body work. New passenger fender, rockers, cab corners, rear doors, bed and tailgate .

I generally don't like anything newer then 1998ish. For a newer truck that looks tits.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. It was in pieces for 7 months. It was done at my brothers shop, herter brothers auto in Warminster pa. Painted in early December , done a little at a time so it didn't hold them up.. The better paint and clear really made a difference in the shine and depth.

In those 7 months I had withdrawals..lol. I really missed the 408 and the blower..haaaahaaa.

Used my dewalt cordless buffer with a 5.5 white foam pad and adams polish. Came out really nice and no swirls.

Here's better pics in the sun, I wet sanded it with 2k. Used a 3m wool pad with compound and black and white foam pads with polish and fine polish. Came out really good doing it this way with the 3m compounds and pads. Pics before I put it away till april.

Nah , never happen. It's been away since the end of November. Washed it, wiped it down and then covered it.

I can't imagine owning a vehicle that I can't drive because of weather.
I am lucky I guess that I live in California

Its been in every winter since 03 except the last 2. Being painted I'd like to keep it nice again....the salt would kill it. It would be nice tho to live our there for that reason.

We all compromise one way or another
