Hey guys, Ive been thinking about tackling the project of painting my truck. What do you recommend for body paint and then the best rust prevention paint for the chassis, inner fenders, etc?

Thanks.

Hi Willem445, I am about to start painting my project in a couple weeks. I am going to purchase my paint from ( paintforcars.com). They seem to have the color I want and the price is not to bad. The price I have been getting was around 600.00 to 750.00 for the same things I would need. Hope this is what you were looking for, if not then someone will chime in to help you out. Good Luck hope to see some picture when you start and finish it.
