Anything under 70*, and painting gets sketchy. We are having a mild winter so far, last year it was about 20* cooler.

Where we stay in FL, southwest of Miami, they'll say a cold front is coming. That means the high will be 80 instead of 82.

Last trip I made to Orando it was a high of 62 and 30 at night. Still looking for a good used tailgate for the Tundra

Got one door and both door handles painted yesterday. One still needs some fine finishing, hoping to knock it out today and paint it tomorrow. Also trying desperately to get the bed ready and sprayed soon.

Got my doors painted after work today! I'm off tomorrow, going to get them on the truck in the morning if they dried well. I'll have non-dented doors and door panels that aren't falling apart. My next project will be to swap out the rest of the interior pieces and get a radio in it once again.

Driver's door on. My father disagreed with me, and did not mix the pint and quart I had. As a result, the door handle doesn't quite match the door. (He used the pint to paint my handles, and I used the quart to paint the doors.) It is something I will have to fix at a later date.

A little before and after, the dented door and black handle vs. the freshly painted door and color matched handle.

Passenger door is on. Going to swap in the rest of the interior and wire up the radio tomorrow. The past eight months without a radio has been hell. Hoping I can make everything I have planned - happen tomorrow.
