It's holding up really well. Dried hard and has an orange peel-ish texture. Kind of a timely process because a good deep color needed lots of layers. What else do you want to know about it?

I read on the mopar posts that some of the folks that used Rustoleum ended up having issues with the paint coming off, but since you are not, I'm even more willing to try it now. BTW, How many layers did you end up rolling on your rig? Do you have close up photos of the paint or orange peel?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That's a sweet truck. I love the 80-83 body style. Unfortunately I have never seen one around here since I'm sure they've all rusted to nothing because of our winters.

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted here...
It's been two years and the paint still looks great. No chipping, flaking, or scratches. Can't say the same for the Herculiner, but I beat it up pretty well.
Future plans have changed to include: Chevy 4.3L, lockers, half doors, 38" tires and maybe some Dana 60's. Pretty much on hold 'cause of other projects and a new baby.
