I was starting to get tired of driving around in a truck with a faded spray bomb paint job so I decided to sand it away. Turns out theres some decent charcoal grey underneath so I am gonna wet sand it with 320, touch it up and clear coat it then do some bed liner along the bottom. Took me about 8 hours to do 1 side over 2 days but I dont think its going to be a waste of time.

The charcoal gray looks a lot better! Adding bed liner around the bottom will make it look awesome.

This is one rare occasion that you'd be happy for the previous owner doing a crap paint job. :D

I think I will use Pro Form it comes in a can or roll on and is cheap, about $10 per can or $60 for a gallon.
