I also worked on the grill and the tail gate....the handle is shaved on the tail gate.....as i was putting the primer on wet i saw a 2 spots i am just not happy with......i may get me some gloss black rattle can and spray in the area that i am not happy with and stand the tail gate up as if it is on the truck and see if i can find my spots that way.... when it comes to stuff like that i am very anal......... if it was in a spot that was not looked at all the time i wouldn't worry about it......but here is a few pics....

OK, you're making too much progress. I can bring my truck over there so you can replace rockers and cab corners, since it's still fresh in your mind. :mrgreen:
