Looks very nice! I was actually planning to paint my rig as well, but with a paint gun, but if the rattlecan works just as well I can do that save me some money and time.

How many can's did it take you to finish?

It just looked the tannest out of all the colors I used. Just personal preference.
I'm sure it would look good on the whole truck, but sitting next to the Italian Olive, I liked the darker better.
Prep was simply a 400 wet sand on the previous paint. I wanted rattle can because I scratch it frequently wheeling and such, and now have to ability to touch up without trouble.
For the amount of prep work I did, it turned out better than I expected.

peow130 drive on over and I'll help ya out with that timing chain issue you've got too
