I decided it was finally time to paint my fender and valance that I had replaced after my accident.
The epoxy on the parts was fading off and I didnt want to risk getting any rust.

So I went to canadian tire and grabbed some primer, toyotaish light blue paint and clear.

Here are a few pictures:


Sanded and primed



final coat of primer



3 coats of blue



started clearcoat



finished




installed





so all in all, took me a few hours and I am very happy.The paint dosnt match since this colour is like the factory paint (pretty damn close) and my current paint is a crappy maaco job that is all faded.
In fact, since I love this colour so much, I am contimplating painting the whole truck myself with this colour!

What do you guys think?

That is a nice baby blue and might look good on the whole truck.

Not my color but it could be yours!

Looks good! I think you should do the rest of the truck in that color.

I really want to paint my whole truck like that, in my driveway

Then in a year or so get it re-done profesionally but with more metalic

I think I will do my tailgate this colour and go from there.
Possibly paint my other fender and hood, then do the cab and bed.

The paint is not very smooth though, I should probibly wetsand after each coat of blue.
