Yup! Would look good when it's done. Did my Mustang in the driveway. Here is another video of a similar Rustoleum paint job on a 1985 Mustang Convertible I had.

I say it came out pretty darned good for $50. It's obviously a work truck that earns it's living. Came out nice.

Looks good ... How long did you need to wait between coats?

Waited about 7-8 hours between coats. Took 3 days to complete. Sanded it down with an electric sander, pressure washed it, dried it off, masked it off, rolled on the rustoleum....done.
