Been needing to get this started for like 5 years now. I couldn't take the crappy, cracked, peeling, fading paint any more.
Pulled out the random orbit sanders & 60g up to 220g sandpaper & went crazy.
It's still a long way from being finished, but so far it looks worlds better. 
I've had the fender flares in the garage forever & they have several coats of bedliner sprayed on them & they look sweet. I still need to re-install the inner fender wells along with the flares, but i have to build some new mounting bolt mechanisms for the flares.
Also need to sand & polish the crap off the headlights... finish up the new raptor grille... led mod the turn signals... decide what i want to do with the toolbox & bed rails, either polish everything or sandblast & spray on bedliner.
I probably need to silicone up the quarter windows too... noticed they're not quite as tight as in years past & i want to keep everything inside dry.
