A friend of my father wet sanded and buffed my truck out today. The paint has been really faded and awful looking lately. Well, not anymore! Its VERY shiny and I''m very happy with the way the paint came back. He was even nice enough to apply some touch up paint where I was missing some spots. He was also awesome enough to give me a gift; some brand new gray pinstripes!

I took some pictures for everybody. These are some "before the job" shots.

And these are the "after the job" shots. Note the new pinstriping.

So what do you think?

That looks a lot better. The pinstriping breaks up the solid black paint.
Looks good

I''ve already made up my mind about the next couple things I''m going to do before I have to report back to school in August. I''m going to get a bug shield (maybe tomorrow), rims and tires (later this week) and the original graphics which say "BLAZER" and "Sport". Those will happen sometime later this month.

Man I wish my truck looked that nice. The funny thing is that my truck is 7 years newer than yours and its full of rust! Looks excellent.

Thanks. I know, I actually find it rather strange that there isn''t any rust on the truck panels at all. As far as I can tell the truck has been in New Jersey its whole life, through 14 years of wind, rain, snow and ice. The only spots on the truck at all I can say have rust at all are the inside bottom lip of the tailgate and the frame underneath. I actually poked my head underneath the truck the other day and sprayed some flat black spray paint on the frame and made it look 100 times better. I was actually surprised to look up and find that the floor panels are still nice and gray with no rust. The only rust under there is on the exhaust system, which I''m planning on replacing with a true dual sometime next year.

I''m going to get a bug shield tomorrow. I''ll post up pictures in a new topic once I have it on there. (Gotta have something to match my window shields.)
