Not bad, I love em too.... Check this thread out from You Tube. I've seen a couple done like this and it's literally amazing. There are several others on YT if you look around. Who would of thought you could use Rustoleum and a roller and make it look like this!!!

Sweet. Curious, did you use Krylon, Rustoleum, what brand ? I'm leaning towards a rattle can paint job myself.

yes it is the rears up front, my cousins dog got ahold of my amber ones when I first got the truck he literally ate them off of my truck and I haven't found a good set to replace them yet so I am using the red ones for now....

yes I did use the krylon paint, it was the camouflage ultra flat olive drab. it covers really good and lays out pretty flat for a rattle can. you just can't beat a $30 paint job

Very cool! I've seen a couple videos and read a few websites that detail how a car can be painted with a roller, but it seems that most people use Rustoleum paint. I wonder how well Duplicolor would hold up and if anyone has used it before in this type of application? They make a few factory colors. If they hold up as well as the Rustoleum, I foresee a repaint of my truck using this method in the near future

Holy man that looks good. I love those cut away doors, I'd like to get a set for my 4Runner some day.

I love the fact that after a particularly nasty wheelin outting ( you know tree branches and such beatin on the paint ) you can just sand and paint in your driveway or garage and your ready to go.

My dog hasn't ate any lights yet but he has munched on a couple tubes of sealant, dunno how he is still alive, stomach of steel or something.
Send me a reminder pm, I might still have mine laying around. If I still have them they are yours for a couPle of bucks to cover shipping.

Or you could convert them to LED, I used a set clearance lights from napa, works pretty dang good, about $6 or 7 a piece.

thanks guys, the paint job was much needed the blue doors came as a trade from a guy I met on here and the white front fenders came from a donor 1980 2wd pickup that a local kid is parting out for dirt cheap...the fenders pretty much went on as a direct swap which was great because I hacked my 4wd fenders up pretty bad...well once again thanks for all the nice comments....paul

I like the OD paint job. That's my favorite color.
