Flat black rustoleum.
Still need to hit my bed rail pads.
Got pretty much everything else looking that fresh...
Mirrors, door handles, grille, lower bumper, nerf bars,steel wheels, frame, most of the front end under parts... rust prevention is your friend.

I guess I need to start pulling those plastic pieces off the truck and start painting them as well.

Good idea for a thread, looks good doc.
Under hood needs some love every now and then too!
Although this isn't what's under my hood, it really needed cleaned up, so...
Before.
and after a bit of cleaning, not bad for the first polishing pass.
As for plastics, I polish those too, but for the average user the "back to black" stuff works pretty well, I'm not a big fan of spray cleaners though, but it works pretty well. I have not tried the "wipe new" but I was given some to try.

You can go by your local auto paint suppler and get a Spray can of BullyDog.
It is a prep / flex additive you use on plastic before you paint it.
It etches to plastic and allows the paint, after painted to Flex with out cracking and chipping..
