    All caught up! I love being frugal and DIY when I can. It's a lot more fun, even if it doesn't come out perfect.

    Thats cool your boss like you enough to let you lead when he is not there!

    At least yes, the paint will cure properly! But the truck is ugly with the covers in front of the fog holes lol!

    Yesterday I put back my Apex fog lights, freshly repainted. It looks better without rock chips and I hope the few layers of paint will protect from corrosion, which was already noticeable under the powder coat. My wiring job suck tho... And I didn't had motivation do to better lol might be a late fall project, will see :turtleride:

    Aestetics stuff should always be done in spring, so you enjoy it 3 seasons lol. I want to paint my steel skid but I will deffinately wait until spring. I'll just waste my time and paint in it ...
