If it is going to be a while between the time you patch the holes to the time you do the final paint\bed liner, be careful what primer you use.
Some primers are meant to go without immediate paint. Others need to be painted right away or may actually cause more harm then good. = draw moisture and speed up the corrosion process of the new patches.

Well due to an oversight on my roommates part I didn't get to put in my O2 sensor or rear pads this weekend lol. He forgot to order the parts (he works at the dealership). Oh well, I'll get them done monday.
This weekend I did get my grille touched up, I painted the lower chroma piece on the bumper and also the headlight surrounds, all black. I didn't get a chance to snap some pics but I will today. My truck looks very emo now and looks like it's wearing eye liner with the headlight surrounds painted lol, but I like the lack of chrome.

So I forgot to take pics before it got dark lol....tonight when I get home I will.
I forgot to mention I FINALLY got around to clearing my tails and corners too. I really liked the flat look of the VHT, but apparently if you don't clear VHT it turns white after a while and looks like shat lol. I got them cleared this weekend though and they look a hell of a lot better.
I looked at bel liner this weekend too. Cans are about $10, and it says it takes 6-7 cans for a whole trukc bed. I'm thinking sq footage wise the amount I'm going to be doing is no where near an entire truck bed. I'm hoping to do it in 3-4 cans.

That bumper looks great de-chromed, haha.
*sigh* I wish I could throw a clear on my tail lights. Unfortunately the tint has faded from the sun, so I would have to sand the lights down, and repaint them... again.
Lesson. Learned.
