I sanded down the cab with 320 grit sandpaper then applied a second coat of paint. Next color on the block = black |

I was always told to use a dark colored primer for dark (black) finishes because else the primer "shines through" ? Guess an extra layer will probably fix it, but it's one of those "rules" you always hear. |

The cab will be Yellow, which warrants using the white primer. He may even consider spraying another coat of primer with the yellow pigment in it to give the yellow top coats more depth. Can't wait for the stenciling portion. |

I've been away from this board for a long time. I have to say this thread is something I will follow. You are doing an awesome job on this and I will love to see how it comes out. Maybe it will inspire me to get mine done. |
