Take a look.....

Well i got a wild hair and decided to repaint my truck. I think it looks pretty good for a rattle can, I used the engine enamel ford blue color. Not anywhere close to a "professional" paint job, but for a mud truck ya cant beat it. Let me know what you think. Its not done yet, still got to do above the windsheild, roof, and tailgate.

Heres a before pic. (before I leveled the rear also.)


And after

I wouldn't ever rattle can a whole truck haha. Turned out good. (From what I can see from the pictures.) I just bought some cheap paint and sprayed my truck with a spray gun.

Soon repainting it though. After I get the fabrication work done on the flatbed. I just finished the mechanical stuff.

I love the color! Haha.

I rattle canned my whole truck, and depending on how meticulous you are, it can take a LOT of cans. However, for a cheapy beater color change, it probably wouldn't take that much.
