    Just bought a new-to-me 2013 double cab long bed 4x4 SR5. It’s got 9 year old truck scratches, swirls & some shoddy touch up paint here and there. Maybe a ding or two I can’t remember right now. Truck will be outside it’s whole life and it’s the Nautical Blue Metallic, so I’d like to keep it looking fresh and shiny. Plan on buying paint to match bumper caps as well to get rid of the chrome. Maybe I can get all of it done in one shop!

    It has some surface rust towards the rear due to being in NY most of its life. Don’t mind going to a different shop for that.

    Would rather a pro go at it than myself. The truck will be in Tennessee for about another month before I drive it home to TX. It’s just sitting at my folks place and can be taken anywhere to be worked on!

    Thanks
