Tis a thing of beauty sir!
How long did it take you to sand down the shell? What equipment did you use to paint? I am looking at doing my shell on my own, just looking for some tips.

Yeah I painted the door jams too. I didn't pay attention to my tape placement though so theres a couple of spots that the door panel doesn't cover that have white spots. Oh well though it still looks good.

I used an orbital sander with a foam pad and stickon sanding discs. I used 400 to bust through the clear and then used 600 for the final sanding. I filled in the Lear emblems that were in the rear corner of the shell with "frosting" Thats what my teacher called it. Its a ureathane filler material if I remember right. I will grab the tube after work and tell yeah the name of it. I used it to fill all the dings in the truck though.
Then I used a Sharpe Finex gun to spray the canopy with sealer and then paint. For a 100 dollar gun it works great and my teacher was inpressed with the spray pattern it put out. It was comparable to his really expensive guns that he has.
I will put up more pics of the canopy work soon as I get home today. Work internet blocks photobucket.

Thanks for the info! I think my shell was an Innovation so just stickers were on it (my shell is currently silver, but was red before and just painted over)
