2006 Ram 1500

[dieselwrench]

This is the first vehicle I have done that I don`t own, it`s my dad`s 2006 ram 1500. All in all it was not in horrible shape but had a lot of swirls in the paint. I was very nervous about doing someone else`s vehicle so I didn`t get alot of pictures, and it was a very cloudy day so couldn`t get any good sun shots. Any advice or criticism is welcome.

Looks great! Did you do that by hand or with a DA?

[Ronkh]

Nice work!

[Poorboy]

Looks great .. and I`m sure your dad was very happy :)

Perfection takes quite a while to achieve if ever and as long as the finish is in better shape than it started, you are always on the right road :bigups

Outstanding work! Beautiful truck and color.

It`s a mahindra tractor, bought it with a blown engine and rebuilt it about 2 years ago, had to order parts from India to build the engine. I have one also that I have thought about polishing just for the practice but been doing 85+ hours a week at work so haven`t gotten to it yet
