DONE! I got it all done a few days ago, had to borrow a camera, mine is busted..
Anyways so I bought 11 rattle cans at around $4.50 a piece, so there goes a chunk of the 'ol tax return, I was gonna lift it two more inches and do some other doodads, but I got a smokin deal on a IFS 5.29 front 3rd for $190.00 shipped, so I'm gonna save for rear 5.29's now! Here's the pics!
I painted under the hood and door jams, everywhere..
And my home made tube bumper, beats any smittybilt, heck the pipe is like 1/4" thick gas line iron..
All in all its a bit streaky, but heck I hardly spent over sixty bucks on everything, I borrowed some 3M Red Scuff pads from work, and some Final Kleen (basically paint thinner/alcahol) and taped it off,scuffed it, blew off the dust with a leaf blower
, and wiped it down, and shot paint in my garage with a fan blowing fumes out the side door. 
Here's some more pics for the heck of it..
Thinkin' about paintin the rims gloss black..
And THATS how you paint a truck!

Light sand? Second Coat? Hell it was already flat black 'fore I painted it again, just the old walmart stuff was fading and turning blue/getting scratched easy as hell! With 96 cents you get whatcha pay for, the Krylon is where its at, and before I bought the truck the old guy had the seat recovered, he bought her new in '86 and I'm the second owner, the bed is rusted to hell don't let the pictures fool ya, notice the lack of a body line on the bed. 
I think I should paint the wheels black but everyones like, no man leave 'em white!
