Did you use the same white primer on the body as you did on the bar? Same gun or a different one? Same number of coats? Same temperature when you sprayed?.


I used white 2k primer on the bumper and now realize after painting handles, mirror covers etc.. Toyota uses gray primer so i picked up some 2k gray primer and it now matches. I left the bumper as i am looking for a new bumper cover to redo like new as mine has minor imperfections.

The truck is coming out beautiful. I will attach some pics

I ended up buying a DV1 clear gun and this gun is awesome. Lays clear like glass. I also got the real T110 tip from the ebay link you provided but since it took 1 month to get the DV1 clear gun did the job. My truck came out awesome but it took me a month to paint. Worth the time and effort.

Now i bought my dad a blue metallic Tundra for Xmas and the paint is all jacked up so will have to experiment with metallic as i have never painted metallic before. Praying it is not that hard :)..
