    @Glamisman

    Seeing as how I'm also in CA, I'm curious as to who did your paint?

    How much prep work was done by either you, or the person that did the paint job?

    Do you have before pics of your truck?

    Did prep work include fixing and/or filling any dings/dents?

    the paint job was done in Tijauna by a friend of a friend. I received no "special" deal. Was she worth a $5k paint job, no. I am just trying to keep the rust away and get rid of the clear coat that was peeling off in sheets in some places. In Mexico they dont have a CA EPA over-regulation of paint and maybe they have some better paint that sitcks and doesnt fade out. fingers crossed.
