Did you paint the tailgate yourself??

Also, seeing your perfect interior makes me wish I'd left mine completely stock...

I did, and I must say I am impressed with how it turned out. Hopefully I can get a pic with it on the truck tomorrow.

What'd you use to paint? I got a paint gun for Christmas but I haven't been able to use it yet

 

[ChrisAU]

Rattle can. About $75 of it.

Oh dang. It looks pretty good!

 

[ChrisAU]

It turned out pretty incredible IMO, can't wait to mount it up and see how it looks. Still gotta do the bedliner part though.

 

[ChrisAU]

Gonna be a big day today! Got the tailgate all prepped up for a couple coats of primer and then bedliner on the cap and back of it, and also got a Dee Zee tailgate mat coming in today that I am going to throw on top of it.

Also, mirrors are gonna be here today! YAY!! I got the door panels removed last night for this, and while I was at it I replaced all the "christmas tree" clips and also did some repair on the drivers side armrest.

The headliner is clean and just waiting to be covered, I hope to start that tonight possibly. Also need to put my cab lights in, don't know if I'll have enough daylight for that today though!

Got the tow mirrors on! Haven't wired them yet, waiting to do that when I do my cab lights next week. Also hit the wheel wells and frame with some undercoating, cleaned up the truck a lot. Got the tailgate done, and its on, well mostly - still fighting with the metal tailgate straps (doesn't have cables, got the old school metal straps). It was too dark to get a good pic when I got it on the truck, but it looks awesome! The paint is a perfect match

Also got an air compressor to help finish blasting the foam off my headliner...

Got a crappy pic of the tailgate on the way to work this morning:
