Woody,
I stood on the frame in the back and used a step ladder for the sides. My new gun is gravity feed which helps. It was very difficult to do this with the suction gun I used to prime it. The can was in the way and that gun has a very limited angle of tilt befroe the gun stops working.
It was still difficult especially subsequent coats since now there was fresh paint to avoid as well. I should have had my son do it he is 6'4" and has arms about 6" longer than mine.
I have a hard time painting the bed (not just the crappy job I did but) I found it near impossible to paint the inside of the bed. When I primed it the bed floor was not installed, much easier. Trying to put a second coat on was ridiculous hard since I could no longer stand in the bed. (any suggestions are welcome but i don't want to take the bed apart)
When I first got this truck and began peeling off the bad repairs the PO made I found a small piece of floor board that had the original color on it. It was about the only remnant of that color.
I nailed that artifact to the garage wall...5 years ago... This is exactly what I pictured the truck would look like when I finished!!
Oh... BTW here is a few new pics. (on my web shots page in the paint album) Sorry, I don't know how to link to a message.
