    Why not use aircraft paint stripper? You can brush it on and make life alittle easier for you.

    Got the bed flipped over and found a couple areas that need attention.1 is fabbing up some supports for the inner fenders 2 found a couple of rust spots I need to grind and paint. 3 For some reason my dog likes to chew on wires so gonna repair those and loom them up where my dog cant get at them. And last replace the stock license plate lights with some LEDs.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]the marked area is where I need to notch.[​IMG]Also prepped the headlight buckets for the new LEDs

    Bro, saw some aircraft paint stripper at Home depot today. Its a blue red can, brush on type not spray. I've used it in the past and it works good. I saw it in the area where they mix the house paints

    Tail lights went on.I am gonna use my old parking lenses in the meantime but blacked them out because I plan on using the inner set of LEDs for the parking lights and the outers for the turn signals.
    (=left turn 0= headlight and )=left parking light same same on the other side. (0)--TOYOTA--(0) This will be my front end.[​IMG]
