Yup, they turned out good for sure.

I wet sanded them with 1k grit then went up to 2k grit then final pass was with 3k grit, then polished them with metal polisher Ill post a pic later of the metal polisher.

Looks great man! Paint is flawless! I like that tail gate too, is that an original to the truck? I always see them with that aluminum plate.
