Do you think I could get away with putting the colour over the stonechip once its tack dry?

Still need to make and weld the drivers side closing panel in and then stonechip that and the heal board.

 

If the stonechip dries enough might might try and blow some colour over the underside of the load bed.

 

At least then I can get the subbys on!!!!!  :D

Niceeeeee just one question ??? Why leave the sill off??? Surely welding it on will melt and make your stone chip peel off??? I need to catch upppppp

Good question...

I wanted to stonechip the gavity under the sill so left it off so i can get to the sill stiffener and door step.

I ran a length of duct tape alone where the sill welds on to mask it off so it still bare metal underneath. You just cant make it out from the photo very well.

Once the outer sills on i'll cover it in stonechip too.

Make sense?
