Sorry you went through some similar pain ITTOG. The effort and patience required for good paint prep is no joke. My hat goes off to all of those who do it for a living. Thanks! "Just keep moving forward" is still my mantra on this beast of a project.

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Since I'm a Pre-fessional, I used guide coat for the 320 and 400 grit sand. This is prior to the 320 pass. I wanted to make sure that I didn't over sand anything. I was surprised at how much I actually needed to sand, in order...

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Homemade camper sanding booth: I taped off all the windows and pushed air in through the skylight and sucked it out through the vent fan cutout in the bathroom ceiling/roof. I installed double filters on the outlet air, one at...

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Well, I think I need to crank the PITA x 4 up to a PITA x 5 for the interior paint. The saga continues..... 🤯. About 3 or 4 days after dropping the camper off at the paint shop, I got an email. They basically wanted just under...

Thank trackhead :). I know what you mean by the "Glad you're still at it", but I'm not sure I am :LOL:! I'll keep cranking on it until I reach that da(😩)mn finish line.

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper Straight from rigging the camper at the LINEX shop and into the paint booth for the interior paint. When I first visited their site, they had a huge yacht in the booth. It's hilarious to see my dinky little camper and a small ski boat in there 😆...

LINEX - Exterior of Truck & Camper - Complete I snapped some quick pics. The lighting is not the greatest and we were in a hurry to beat an incoming rain storm (2 hour drive from the LINEX shop to the interior paint shop). Rigging the camper and transporting the steel-camper-stand around on a...

Three long years and still counting :oops:🤯............🤣. Thanks Fly fisherman; more to come.

LINEX - Spraying Exterior of Truck & Camper - Continued...... We're moving along well 🤜🤛! Erin and I had to bounce down to the LINE-X shop, mid process, to rig the camper on the truck. We wanted to make sure that the rocker panel lines on the truck and camper matched perfectly. The decision...

Thanks Roam Wild! Yah, I spent a ton of time making sure the shop I chose could: get the LINEX on smoothly and consistently, avoid any alignment/rub issues of factory components (doors, fenders, hood.....) and prevent any factory weather stripping/seals from being negatively impacted. These...

Thanks Expo Mike! The LINEX shop is working hard.

LINEX - Spraying Exterior of Truck & Camper Here are a few pics of the initial process: Since the seals on the windows need a flat surface, we had to hold back the LINEX around all six of the windows on the camper. Not a big deal, but just some extra time and effort to keep everything...

Coating Color - For the Truck & Camper - Continued...... & Some Additional Info! Well......, it looks like I'm going to have to disappoint my audience 😁. Here is the inspiration for the coating color I chose, my Beach Cruisers 😎🤙! I wanted to go with the lightest grey I could, without it...

Fuel Fill(er) Line Fittings - Recommendations Needed I'm currently cranking away on the fuel fill and vent lines right now, securing parts. if anyone has recommendations on suppliers for 1.25" and 1.5" fuel fill fittings (Barbed: 90's/45's & 1.5" to 1.25" reducers) let me know. Common auto...

Coating Color Samples - For the Truck & Camper Here we go. Two colors to chew on before the final decision is made. The coating color scheme will be similar to ER: lower rockers and fenders black and the rest of the truck/camper one solid color. I include two pictures: one is when the...

DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices I have already created another detailed thread related to this topic, so I am not going to spend anytime in this post/thread giving detailed information about the issues. If you would like to know all of the details, please see the...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... Major structural and production issues on the DBL fenders Note: After sanding the primer back and pressing all of the cracks in the fender, all of these long hollow tubes along the line where DBL joins the back and front of...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... White rattle can overspray on factory black components Note: Not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of life, but again, this is a brandy new truck. Several of the overspray areas are also visible, meaning I'm going to...
