The more the merrier, right?

Im willing to give a helping hand and use my own supplies if you like. Im no pro but im pretty good with he DA. you can check some of my work if you like.

2007 Toyota Corolla (interior & Clay/Wax)

Sounds good. I'm sure we can learn a few tips from each other. Where are you located?

I'm in Laguna Hills, but it's not out of the way to make a day of it. Once we figure out the details, I can try & make arrangements to be there also.

I'm sure Bruce is fast asleep, and will check his messages in the AM & realize he's a popular guy. :-D

Sounds like the party is at Bruce's house

First off the truck is a 1996 Dodge ram 3500 grey metallic with a clear coat, it was painted in 2001 + or - . All I am trying to achieve is to get it to look decent. There is some rust where when cutting the bed liner they cut too deep. If it is better I can take the truck and meet at some ones house. I am totally surprised at the response from you guys. I was only looking for advise to make it easier.
Thanks
Bruce
