Looking good.
Not sure. I bet it was black beauty blasting media, as I found it everywhere under the hood, in the cab and in the bed.

It went EVERYWHERE !!!

Figure $5000 was about right, and I did all the labor except for the coating process.

To me, it's a business expense, and worth every penny. It was this or go out and buy another truck. I got off cheap if you ask me.
Alright that is in the ball park I guessed, definitely a better investment then a new truck.
