Thanks for the compliments.
This is my 2nd truck spraying like this. My first was a bronco, i used cheap flat black 99cent/can paint. I used about 19 cans can it looked like crap within 2 weeks. This paint I used here is about $5/can. So far Ive only used 5 cans. I can finish the truck with only 2 more. This paint blends very well also.

Oh hell! Now you've gone and done it.

Ladder bars now match the truck, but it looks FORD TUFF covered in mud like I have seen it before. Nice job though, when you getting those 44"s?

You should invest in some sandpaper and a block. Wet sand that paint a little and rub it out. Honest, with a little effort you can not only add some shine, but get rid of some orange peel and you can get a finish that will really take on a different look.
Few coldies and a nice day like the day before Easter, and you will have something that will make people ask if it is reall spray painted.
Been a couple of years, and my rustoleum still shines. Getting a little thin on some parts, but it still shines.
Might need to shoot mine again. Think my paint job ran about 60 bucks a few years ago.

All done

Alright, I'm all done....for now. I finished painting, repainted the doors and panels, and just got done putting on a new Brake booster, master cylider, and left front caliper. I just love how when 1 thing goes they all do.
Anyways, I also took the seats out of my red truck and put them in here. ( I got a set of SVT lighting seats for the red one).
Im very happy with the way it turned out, it feels like a completely different truck. The only thing is the dash now need some attention, but ill save that for another time.

Beat up? Why, because the dash has mud and dirt on it?
