Yes I painted it in my poly booth with the door open and the nose of the truck outside. Amazingly not much trash in the paint. The metallic color is very hard to match and basically doesn't if you look in bright sunlight at strange angles. It's ok, but I don't really care since it is for sale with a salvage title. Painting the panels off the truck and laying flat lets the metal flake lay down differently than if the panels are mounted and are vertical. Metallic particles also sink to the bottom of the gallon can so latter paint work may be more metallic than earlier work. The metallic particles even sink in your spray gun, so earlier passes may look different than latter passes. All of it is VERY tricky and certainly not recommended for a novice.
