I painted under the cab...

And the firewall area yesterday and today, The preparation was the hardest part. I used all Dupont products, I used a factory color also.

Now that looks real good. I like the color. That's called "Loving your truck" Keep it up and don't rush and the rest of your truck is going to look great. Keep the pic's coming.

Looks great. Did you sandblast everything before you painted it?

Yes, sandblasted the firewall but not the underneath of the cab, i just washed and sanded with 220 then cleaned with Actone and compressed air. then applyed 2 coats of Nason Fullpoxy epoxy primer/sealer. the next day gave the firewall a sand with 320 then applyed 2 coats of dupont Centari.
