They may use a more expensive filler, but it will not adhere propery. Mustang lab is correct, the RIGHT way to do it is down to bare metal, and work the metal to reduce the amount of filler

@@SurviventheOnslaught Even at Maaco they're going to charge a lot of money if Mike wants all that rust and body work done along with clear coated special color. I've had Maaco paint some new parts and damaged areas. They are not anywhere as cheap as people think (for a fully prepped clear coated paint job). But they are still a lot cheaper than a well known paint specialist shop. But some times you get what you paid for. I've had some bad experiences and good experiences with Maaco paint jobs.

I'm sure they corrected that problem by 93. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Just some friendly body work advice, don't use the electric sander. Get you the longest flexible sanding block you can find and start out with a lower grit paper to scuff through the clear and into the paint and primer being careful as to not get to bare metal or you'll have to rattle can primer that spot. Use an X pattern when sanding on large panels with the block as to get an even surface throughout the whole vehicle. Make sure to get into panel gaps by hand as good as possible. Once the whole truck is scuffed, rinse and repeat with higher and higher grit papers until you have a smooth even surface. Also dont pay attention to the previous owners "body work" the body shop will cut out areas that had rust and have new panels welded in. Happy sanding!

[@robinhoodie8999]

Carter Walton I actually chuckled at this not gonna lie

[@DaddytechEnt]

*That adhesive you need to pretty much scrape off. You need to remove the aluminum trim around the wheels too (phillips screws front and rear) and as for those panels that were replaced already i would cut those back out and make sure they are installed correctly. There is no sense glazing them in and you not knowing if they are going to rust right out on you all over again right away. put them in right THEN fill and properly finish them with body glaze and prime it with metal etching primer make sure it's all smooth then your front and rear bumpers will need to be removed as well as the grille and head and tail lights. i would also wait to install the mirrors till the paint has been done. you'll also want to remove the 4X4 decals (heat gun) and replace those screwed up rockers while you're at it too. sounds like a lot but it's not really. that little Ryobi sander is a finish sander and you really need to be cutting it down with 220 so it doesn't cut too deep but still makes shorter work of everything*

You should do the factory light blue on the truck

[@DollyDriven]

I've got a 99 Tahoe. Try rolling down the window and lifting up on the door when you close it. If it closes, look at the door latch assembly. Look at the driver side and compare it to the passenger side. You'll see the problem. Replace the door latch assembly and the door bushings. You're going to need help or just hold the door up with a jack stand while you take out the pins. Also, instead of unplugging the like, 3 wires, and fishing them through the cab, just have the door sag down to the ground.
