It has been nice out here so I wanted to get a few visual things done. First thing was to take the intake and fuse box and paint them red to match the valve covers. I am debating a hard radiator pipe so I removed the existing rad hose and sprayed it red just to get an idea. Surprisingly, the paint has held up on the rad hose through about 10 heat cycles. I might just leave it. Anyway, I ordered some silver metallic vinyl that say Viper SRT 10 and layed them on the intake and fuse box. Looks ok I guess, kinda cheap up close. But it will work for now. I had a viper stencil I cut out a long time ago just laying around, so I went ahead and sprayed the condenser. You can tell by the pics I could use a new one lol. I also added the red dodge hash marks on the side, and matching stripes on the wing in vinyl. Still on the fence about this one. Also, not pictured, I sprayed the little SCT logo in red and placed in on the tailgate. I added the mean looking eyebrows on the headlights, just used some lens tint. Lots of lens tint. They are lightly sanded now, need a few more coats to be 100% even with lights on. And finally, I hit the entire truck with a clay bar and a few coats of high end wax. Im lowering it here soon, and thats probably going to be it as far as looks, then its all under the hood! :rock:

Good job on the engine bay. Looks fine to me. Enjoy the shine of the truck till the pollen takes over!

I have rediculous ones. I was gonna wash mine and do some swirl removing today but the rain has been off and on alot. Gonna wash tomorrow instead. I hope to get one coat of rejex on it by the end of day tomorrow after wash, swirl removal, clay bar. I HOPE! Need a serious duster around here.

I hate swirl marks, especially on black paint. And clay bar is the best thing Ive ever done to that truck as far as the paint. Its amazing how much crap gets left behind even with regular washes. Sounds like you got your day planned out! I always take before and after pics when I do a really long detail, just to see the difference.

I usually get done and when the wife and I get ready to leave I say "hows it look?" She always says " it wasn't dirty to me" Burns me up LOL

Funny thing is she vacuumed our dakota out this weekend and went on and on about how nice it is to have it clean LOL. I just did it last weekend! Still love her tho ;)
 
It Does Look Good.

My wife always spots anything I change on the truck, her Challenger or the Harley. She has a good eye, so I don't know what the hell she is doing with me......
