Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
Umm, more like $150 these are big trucks. I don't think I would ever do another truck, I'd borrow works booth and spray. But for this truck this time, I'm satisfied with the results and think it was worth the effort.

Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
Turned out good. Are you going to put the lower trim on it to break up the two tone?

Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
After more research, there's a special roller you need for the Bed Armor.....Guess I need to try to sand it down and get the full kit with the roller.

Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
I bought a Herculiner kit today, $98 with $25 rebate....until they found out the rebate was expired and refunded me $25 on the spot
Gonna try to knock the old stuff down with a paint wheel later today. |

Re: Attempting the "$50 paint job"
That turned out very nice. I plan on painting my Jeep Wagoneer the same way.

Other than the dark patch between the cab and the bed it looks great.
