I know I know...stickers on paint = badness, I was planning on removing them this detail time and putting them on truck box etc....BUT I need a new one of each (except the jaws of life one...my dad got fired from them for a BS reason so I am in trouble for even having it on there) before I remove them. I HAVE to represent POW/MIA and my school...Otherwise I just wouldn't feel right. The tailgate is messed up enough, however, because I didn't tie this dumb metal chair down enough and it caught wind flew out the back and was barely hooked in so I decided to put a nice gash down the tailgate. I am planning on having the whole thing resprayed over the summer, or just replaced depending on my Mula situation.

Looks good!

Each time you detail you'll learn something new -- whether it be about techniques, products, etc. Someday you'll be able to pass along advice to someone else based on the many experiences you've had to draw upon from detailing your various rides over the years -- learning is all part of the fun!

Thanks again for the prop's guys!! This was the first of many to come, next detail job will be a bit easier because the surface area of my sisters 93 bimmer is half that of my truck, except its black so I gotta watch my butt lol. Thanks again guys, and the back looks low because it is on an incline (washing out the bed is easier when it runs out the back instead of just sittin there, especially when horse umm...disposal was just in the bed). I would also like to thank RP, and a couple other guys for putting thier list online so I could rip off the potion's to get it like that!
