i had the cab blasted with glass bead... excellent media to use- does not warp metal, and leaves enough profile to the metal for priming. I have all the body work done now, i primed with PPG wash primer (on the bare metal), then topcoated that with PPG K 38. after blocking, finding little dents, pinholes, etc. I finally got the the interior painted saturday. One day this week i will be wet sanding the exterior and painting it cape maroon. I'll have more pics up asap.
