Might I just take a minute and show off my rattle can paint job?

Im not sure how to post pictures very well but I posted them in my album. Let me know if I need to do something else to allow everyone to view them?
It took about 20 cans of krylon paint and primer plus I also primered before painting.
The b;ack and grey are both satin.
I think it turned out rather well myself?

Thanks, yeah, thats the truck. I hope the paint lasts a good long while. I spent three days tearing it down, sanding and painting. Now Im putting heavy coats of paste wax on it twice a year to help protect it. I just couldnt justify putting much money into paint on a parts together truck.
It has an 88 box on it so the body lines dont match well, thats the reason I put the graphics on it. It fools the eye into not seeing the miss match.

Truck looks great. It is either September or October I think is when Toyota starts the next year. If you have a late 88 title it would be considered an 89.
