I want to see it as well. I am doing my truck with Tremclad flat black. I will post pics in my Diesel build. Are you using spray cans? I didn't know you could buy that krylon stuff in bulk cans?

paint done

raining, but got a shot of the paint job done. May not have been krylon, will check the can. It was in a quart from local APM. Not as flat as previous job from the walmart spray cans. Next job is to fix the winch, build the rear tire carrier, roof rack...etc etc...

I was getting tired of the half assed camo job and it needed some touch up along the bottom to get rid of the salt induced krusties. The paint was "platikote rust paint" looks and smells like tremclad to me. Dried way to slow for my liken even when thinned with laquer thinner. Next time I will go with a satin black that the local parts place has by the gallon. It can be used as straight enamel or with a hardener. Just finished rebuilding an old tailgate to use for the summer, no glass or motor in it, capped the top to stiffen it up.
I always hate to have the glass laying inside the gate all summer when the softtop is on. Pics to follow soon.

All joking aside that rig looks nice with its new suit.
