Humm, now you got me wondering if i can do that too, the origional paint was fine but my stepdad payed my uncle to paint the truck, Humm.... Just don't know how much he sanded off..

I tried useng Acetone (my girls nail polish remover actually) and it started to take the black off and leave the original paint.... then I remembered I had a DA sander... so I used that to get the bulk or the black off.. then acetone to get the rest.. then rubbing compound to smooth it out... turning out OK... it'll look good from 20 feet when done....
And I just received my poly body mount and 1" aluminum lift from ORD.... so I may have a new update this weekend...
