I got mine from softopper & love it.

as far as painting...nice job on your rig toyospearo. Id paint mine, but im glad i finally dented mine all up so now i can stop worrying about it.

i remember when i first got it i would snap my friends for sitting on it with blue jean rivets, now its fights through brush like a boar.

Dude, I am Bondo-ing like a madman right now, some tips would be good. My skills and use-to-it-working-with-it-ness are progressing fairly quickly, but still.

Yes please, I would love a nice How to on how to correctly paint a vehicle.
Other than the classic "Just Rattle Can It".
It would be nice to see how to fix dents, rust spots, as well as what type of paint, sprayer, reducer, clear coat and all that jazz is good to use.
Thanks in advance.

Definitely interested. I spent $300 on paint to paint a white door red to replace my dented up door and the painting was too hard to get right without a tent that I gave up and bought a door of the same coloured- truck.
