Well, it's no RBV, but it's still a FORD TRUCK! And a 42 year old one at that. This thing took a good 10 cans of Rustoleum. Probably cost about 45 bucks counting paint and masking tape. Looks a lot better than the multi-color it was before!



Close-up shots? We don't need no close-up shots...





Come on, let's see all those "20 foot" paintjobs out there.

Any kind of paint is always better than no paint. Primer does not count.

Looks good. Maybe when my Ranger is over 20 years old, I may consider a spray can paint method.

Hell, walking by that thing from 20 feet away in a parking lot, I would say to myself, "Wow, nice new paintjob on an older truck".

$45, can't go wrong.

The appearance of streaks is just water, I haven't gotten around to clearcoating it yet.
