ok so i definitely want to prep and prime my truck myself. from there, my dads good friend wh has restored many many cars says as long as i cut in, his buddy nearby can hook me up with the final coat of paint. the bed is off the truck and ive painted the frame from the cab back, and im currently sanding down all of the panels for the bed (bedsides, tubs, front, tailgate, etc). so the next step would be the front half of the truck, but the problem is that im worried if i start sanding, it will all start rusting because its just sitting on the street and i dotn have a garage. now i could try to find a friend somewhat nearby to let me use his garage, but im trying to figure out a way to keep from doing that. ive thought about maybe getting a large, thick plastic drop cloth to cover the truck everyday when im done sanding, but then if moisture got up under there id be afraid of rust starting. and just to clarify, im not looking to sand the whole thing down to metal, however in some parts im sure it will get there like edges and stuff, just looking to get through at least the clear coat. so any ideas i would really appreciate. thanks.
