Ran the C20 off in a ditch

[1low4x4]

the hood, tailgate, and cowl have all been wet sand and bust. They are smooth as glass. The rest of the truck looks freaking awesome, it's sitting in the booth painted. I gave the mexican buffer dude an extra 100 dollars under the table to make it as smooth as the hood when he cuts and buffs it tomorrow. I am beyond happy

some updates. The first picture should be off the old style license plate push intype light, over time the lenses turn yellow and break and just look bad. So I made the hole bigger and drill two other holes an added the other style that screw in and never yellow. Still have to do the other side. Also got my new, used fender emblems in, and I started working on my rear tailgate bezel. It is kind of dinged up so I bought a Do It Yourself auto body repair thing at the parts house to knock them out. Hopefully it will come out nice and I can polish it like I did the cab trim.

Pepe is doing a good job. Just wait til it gets done and buffed out. It'll look much better than it does now.

Spent the better part of the weekend tapping dents out of this damn tailgate bezel, the sanding and polishing and painting etc. Looks better than it did, and will look better than the holes in the tailgate showing. Supposed to go get my truck tomorrow but with 50% shot of rain it might not happen, cant tow it an hour home in the rain with no glass

Not only the no glass, I think I'd want that paint to cure another day or two before I allowed it to get heavy rain wet.

Is that a Viper GTS coupe? Regular vipers are rare enough but the hard top early ones are something of a unicorn status.

Water won't hurt fresh paint at all, the problem is just letting the dirty rain dry and get baked on in the sun.

I knew water itself wouldn't hurt it. I was more thinking of heavy rain hitting it and the paint not being completely cured and hardened. You think heavy rain at 40-50mph would be OK to hit recently sprayed paint? I guess it would be if it's ok to take it to the car wash right away.

headed to get the truck now, I was going to wrap the window area in saran wrap so my interior wouldn't get wet, it's not raining hard just showers here and there. But my painters that do not wrap it. But he said rain water will not hurt the paint one bit. It's already been baked and sanded and buffed on all day. Pics later
