The cab door edges (between exterior and interior surfaces) and internal door latch/lock mechanisms (through plugged access holes). The engine will be protected from over spray.

b. The entire outside dump bed, including side hinges/storage compartment hinges, D-rings, underneath the dump bed (including internal surfaces of longitudinal structural members and cross members), front bulkhead (including internal surfaces of all structural members and storage areas) and spreader beams (including internal surfaces) and all storage compartments.

c. The entire dump bed, including front and over hang bulk head (including internal surfaces of structural members) the bed sides/tailgate (including internal surfaces of structural members) and the underneath of the dump bed (including internal surfaces of structural members).
