[QUOTE="rj ︈, post: 3594075, member: 46029"] Before I picked up the truck, I bought a used camper shell on Facebook Marketplace for $200. This thing was in rough shape but it fit the truck. I started by sanding the whole thing with 220 grit sandpaper and thought I would do my best to save some money on a paint job by removing the windows and replace the seals while I was at it. I cleaned it up with the sander and put some [I]non-automotive [/I]primer on the thing. That was a mistake. I was ready to drop it off at a local body shop and the guy took one look at it and showed me that the primer was not right by just scratching it with his fingernail. Dragged the shell back home and wet sanded the whole thing to remove the primer and the body shop just sprayed over the old paint, which seemed to work out great.
