I Burn it in at the body line on the back of the bed, sand and buff it and your good to go.

im thinking i probably wouldnt be able to do it to mine as my body line is different and i would be left with a tape line at the very back near the tail light ill have to look at it. my body line tapers in and levels with the bed at the very back. been there done that haha... sucks

No No.. I can burn something in, right in the middle of a bedside and you cant tell. This is what you do, you get foam masking tape(we call it rope), use that on the edge of the tape so that it causes it not to leave a tape line, then on the first coat of clear stay at least 3 inches from that rope, leaving a dry spot. On your second coat of clear, clear up to the rope, then immediately after get some Hot temperature reducer and dust that over the paint line where the rope was. That melts the new clear into the old clear, leaves a little line, but the line sands out very easliy with 1500 gritt paper. Then buff it and BAM no one can even see it, not even me. Did you stay with me there? Or do I need to get pics?

How much are you usually charging to do this kind of side job? You can PM if you prefer.. I'm interested in getting some body work done to the silvy.

I usually do roll pans with you supplying the roll pan, turn key job. Which means you leave me the truck I will do EVERYTHING from welding to buffing for $300. I need the truck for about 3 days. Satisfaction guranteed to, and i gurantee the paint will match, thats the easy part of the job.

pics would be amazing im not sure about the rope tape you speak of. last time i folded the tape up on the body line and you couldnt tell but on the flat spot it was obvious.. and im no painter i never even took body class in highschool. i understand what your saying for sure though i think im going to spend a little money on a gun this summer and play around next winter with it. learn a little. the mechanics will be done on my truck and itll be time for paint and body. which wont be much.

my paint might be harder to match but its defiantly something i will have you do when the time is right. maybe this summer

[Red03SilSS]

Nothing is hard to match when you have this.... Especially if its a factory color

If you invest in a gun do not get a jeep gun. I spray with Iwatas. Those and Satas are the best.

I will try and get some pics of the stuff I am talking about.
