wrapping up the cab but ran out of orange paint for the touch ups (argh). A trip to ace is needed later today. got done with the cab guard, the mounts, the screw holes.
On a more interesting note, tinted the windows. I use automotive film. so much cleaner and uniform compared to the liquid sludge called transparency paint. if its a flat pane, i tint it. if it's curved, then i spray it.
i went with 35%, i was thinking 16% would be too dark as it is a small cab.
place all your precut windows outside down on a clean flat piece of something, cut and peel your tint, apply your liquid mix (baby shampoo and water is still best) and gently squeege it over the individual pieces. You could cut each tint for each window but with something so small, i just apply it over and cut them out later.
after you squegee it gently cut the pieces apart and get rid of the bulk tint so stuff can dry.
then about an hour when it is drier
gently remove the excess around the edges as close as you can
without pulling or lifting it. if you dont do that, the excess will wrinkle and pull the edges as it dries.
then when it is fully cured in 2-4 days, do the final trim. i now wait, for 2 days.
