ok I dident think that anyone would be interested so here we go! I used a paint called interlux brightside paint you can get it from jamestown distributers you can find them threw google. I got iterlux steel gray and mix in some black to get the color I was looking for. I then thined it out 1:1 with mineral spirits. I applyed it with a very high density foam roller can fine these at homedepot. You start rolling it on and it will look really bad bubbles everywere because of the mineral spirits its called solvent bubbles. While rolling this paint on you will want to use another foam roller dry with no paint to help pop the bubbles and level the paint out. I did a total of 8 coats to get were I wanted. I wet sanded in between coats starting from 600 then 800,1000,2000, and I will do a final wet sand of 2500. There is no clear coat at all the paint is very glossy by it self. You can also use rustolem but have heard good and bad about it, like it might fade after time in the sunlight. That is why I used the interlux because it has a UV protector and also has teflon in it to, to make it very strong paint. There is a fourm page that I listed in my other post there is alot of good info on the site! But like I said let me know If I can help in anyway!

This paint job took me over a month, thats form start to finish had alot of body work and stuff to do before painting! This paint job is very time consuming and hard work cuz all the wet sanding! But if you dont have a few grand like me than this is the paint job for you!

That paint looks great, especially for a roll on. I've seen far worse spray jobs that cost a lot more. Not a fan of the altezzas though. Still a nice truck
