Well the beat goes on. With the holidays I have been a bit distracted but I have had time to continue the project. I now have the top of the shell to 2000 grit sandpaper and I am very pleased with this system. The sides will need a couple more coats but it is ready for windows and installation onto the truck for the trip back to Washington.

I have also started on the truck. I like the red primer as a base because the hunter green appears darker much faster (compare the door to the hood). I may take Marq's suggestion and mix some black paint with the primer when I work the top this week.

Here are a couple of in progress pics.
