I have a friend that owns as body shop so he will be mixing the paint, I will use my small touchup gun to spray it. I will be using a sealer, base coat and clear coat.
It's shadowed, some places worse than others. I didn't want to mess with anymore decals so it will be painted where the decals where, I'm changing colors to match the truck and eliminating so of the lettering. If I go after the spots where there was lettering with 3M rubbing/polishing compound I can get them to almost disappear.
I have the areas for the first color (Kodiak Brown) almost ready to paint and if it isn't windy Monday I will paint it.

Unless your oxidation is extreme, you can get the compound to pull shne through pretty nicely. I compounded my entire trailer after pulling some of the decals and did a color change on some others so it would be more 2015 rather than 2008 and would work with the colors of my truck.. I will try to fond the thread around here somewhere and post it.. Here's a few pics...

Just part of the process...
Nice I think I like the new color and a few less decals as well.
Thanks fellas!
I'm lookng forward to seeing how well the decals held up over the summer down in AZ... With temps in the 120f range, it should be the acid test for paint/decal adhesion...
Stay tuned as we won't get back down there until October...

This will be my last season with the great 7.3. New truck should be here by September.
