Easy cab painting?

The previous owner changed the exterior color from brown to a blue/silver two tone. It's a nice paint job except the interior is still brown.

I've been thinking about painting it but I want to know how big of a project it will be.

I don't mind spending time on my truck, I just don't want to get in over my head.

Any help would be appreciated.

Painting the door jams etc is not that hard. Since the areas are quite small they usually turn out pretty good even if you havnt done a lot of painting. The trick is to clean the areas really well from dirt and grease. Sand with say 320 -400 grit paper where the paint will be applied. The biggest part of your time will be removing trim and masking the spots so you dont get over spray where you dont want it.
