Yeah, that's up there for sure. If you just had really short hauls and kept the speeds down, I'm sure you could pull it off.

Honestly though, a F150 just can't pull weight as comfy as a SD. Just can't.

Sorry to hear about the damage already, thats a piss off.

So not one cart but two carts. How does that even happen? 

Get the security footage.  I'll book a flight.  We'll bust some heads. 

It's actually rare to see that around Lowe's.  At least around here.  Everyone is usually pretty considerate and like minded.  Walmart now... You have to search high and low for a parking spot that doesn't have a car in it already.  There are more carts in parking spots than cars.

I got it all fixed, its not factory perfect, but I used my halogen work light and you know the rule...you can live and die by that light.  You cannot see what is left with a sun gun or in direct sunlight but they are about 10% visible with the halogen work lights.

So now the plan is.   Taking the truck tomorrow to get Line-X Platinum with color match sprayed in, then on Sat. I am going to wash, clay (nano skin) Polish and fine polish the truck and put a layer of Opti-Coat on.  The goal is to get it done in 1 day, not going to worry about the wheels. 

this truck was not dealer prepped for delivery but it has been lot washed and it does have the dealer installed swirles on the piano black door panels...I may not get to those yet.   My garage is a tad bit of a mess so I gotta clean that up and make ready for a 250 to work on. 

My plan is Optimum Spray Polish on a White Pad, then hit it with Menzerna Super Fine 4500 (no filler) then hit surface with Optimum Paint Prep then the Opti-Coat.   

And yes, I plan on doing the roof even though I have the pano sunroof.  Figured get it done and out of the way.  I hate the roof. 

I will say, the feel of the two doors I fixed with the process above using the Optimum Spray was feels amazing.  So slick and clean feeling.   

Ok carry on.   I gots shit to plan for.   LOL .

So we're not gonna bust some heads?  Disappointing...

Glad you got it fixed up though.

You do realize that if it was any of us that got our brandy new truck hit, there would have been dented sheet metal involved.

What do you mean Tom?  B/c the 250 is aluminum now?

I hope to get after it tomorrow.    Used the PB Tornado pad cleaner for the first time.  Works great.

Love the bed liner! I think Line-X is king with there new products. My truck has a dealer "Ultra Liner" and even under a tonneau cover it's fading...

I'm looking forward to some paint correction pics!

Debating putting another Peragon on this truck.  Sold mine to a buddy for 500...wasn't as lucky at Kitzy on getting a free one.   

I looked at the roll n lock's yesterday at the Linex dealer...at 1600 bucks hard to justify right now.   I am pretty damn poor.  My LineX was 919.00

Letting it warm up a little before I start on the truck.   I hope it doesn't take all day.   My plan changed a little, I think I am just going to clay the surface and hit the entire truck with Menzerna SuperFine 440 then opti-coat.  Not sure if Optimum Hyper Polish has filler in it.  Need to research that real quick.
