It wasn't raining here this morning Rick, that was yesterday. I painted the cab today but was unsure if I would have enough paint to finish the front sheet metal so made a call to have them mix some more up and made the trip to get it, this way I can continue painting tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be good up until the weekend so far..

I take it you're not experiencing cooler temperatures there yet?

It was 62° today while I was spraying, think it warmed up a bit afterward, I worked up a sweat anyway. The humidity pretty much matched the temperature. It's going to be a little cooler for the rest of the week but should be good for spraying, just need 2 more days for the paint but want to spray the bed liner to the undersides of the rear fenders and running boards before tackling the finish on the bed boards..

That's good John, you'll still have a clean panel to drive.

After all of the work that was done to the P/U I would be afraid to drive it.
