Shopline+ base coat (R2 paint code) with slow shopline reducer
Shopline JC630 clear coat with extra slow hardener
Guns:
Sealer: Sata Jet 1500B
DBC500 (clear base): Harbor freight Black Widow
Base coat: east wood concourse LT100
Clear coat: east wood CC500

    One thing I will drop is since your doing the factory color all the stuff that is covered with other parts like the firewall let’s say if you remove some parts and see it is still the factory color and it matches the new coat! , It’s really good looking

    Loved this series, im working on repainting a similar single cab longbed 6.0. I’m sure this question shows my ignorance but how much paint did you end up using?

    Its a good question, I used probably a half gallon of primer in my body work video, about 3/4 a gallon of base coat, 3/4 gal reducer for base, maybe 28oz of sealer, and 1 gal of clear

    I know this isn’t what this video is about but where did you get all your parts for the 05-07 front end? I want to upgrade to those headlights but I don’t want to cut my header panel and I like that whole front end anyway😂 also how hard was the swap?

    The swap was very easy I bet it didnt even take a full half an hour to do minus painting the bumper of course. I originally cut the header panel to fit the 05 lights which i bought on eBay/amazon but later on I found the 05 header panel, grille, snd bumper on fb marketplace piece by piece, everything bolts on very easily
