Something I'm considering but am not sure due to cost. It looks absolutely

I think the normal price is around $800? He gave us a deal since he was a little slow at the time and could use it to stay busy, and we send each other a good bit of work. They do all the prep work and masking, and did a great job. It's a two step process, first a tinted liner that gives the build thickness and texture, and a second coat that matches the paint exactly. I'm not sure on the UV protection, we weren't too worried about it on this truck since it'll be indoors all the time.
