Hey, it looks really nice. Thanks for posting the photos. I have a 220 20 gallon air compressor and perhaps I can use it to do a paint job someday.

Dan,

You can do it. I took the truck apart and did it piece by piece.

If I were to do it again, I would have:

1. Pull the doors so I could have sprayed them on their side (less runs)
2. Used a high build primer and used a long board to block it out

thats it. There are just too many places that I thought were straight and they weren't. Blocking it with a long board would have shown that to me. Then again, I was in a huge hurry and after painting the bed, I learned that lesson but just didn't have the time to go back and fix it.

Looks pretty slick. I just wish that Rustoleum came in lunar green.

Is that the truck with the 460? If so that paint makes a huge difference.

Yep, that is my old purple 460 powered short bed. It is a little different than when you saw it last!

Glad to have you back around.
