All in all I have just around 70-80 bucks into this paint job, give or take a few bucks, including paint/ thinner/ tape/ masking paper/ sand paper/ cleaners...etc.
Ok I figured it would post about my freshly finished paint job. I was lucky enough to use my works really nice spray gun so that helped out a lot.
Paint used: rustoleum gloss charcoal gray enamel paint, 2-3 quarts are needed
Thinner: paint thinner/ mineral spirits. I thinned it 15% by weight.
Prep: started by cleaning it really well with dawn soap to de-grease it. Sanded with 220, then went over it again with 400. Once it was all sanded I fought the truck to work and removed or masked off the item needed, cleaned the truck again and used wax and grease remover to make sure she was clean. Right before spraying I wiped the truck down with a tack cloth.
Left it at work over the weekend, on Monday reassembled the truck and drive it home.
