Looks awesome. BTW, what's up with that little bit of overspray on the tops of the doors? Why not just tape it off on the door edges.
The final sand on the doors hasn't been done so the overspray doesn't matter. It was an accident though the doors were off the truck on stands when it happened.

I'm not a fan of the look, i think if you get rid of one handle you need to get rid of them all... And that's not the look I was after.

That's cool. I figured the doors needed a final prep before paint anyway but I was just wondering why it was like that.

cant wait to see it done! I've always loved the matte look on the F150 ever since I saw Stealth F150 in Truckin Magazine..

That is gonna look sick! I like the mat finish look. Even though you are spending more than it is worth, look at it this way with all the damage you have fixed the truck will last that much longer!

Can't wait to see it all together!

Are you doing the work yourself? I was just curious, cuz I cant get around that comment. I've worked in a bodyshop as a painter/helper for 5 years and I dont see this project costing any more than 1500 for material. Maybe I'm wrong. Its gonna look great when your done.

Another thing, the material isn't a huge deal if your doing it yourself, most people dont know the actual labor in doing a complete color change, tons of extra hours. Props for doing it right, or paying to get it done right. Cant wait to see it done.
