Slow progress on the Ranger but still alive

Bought my 86 Ranger about a year ago. Ran great then stopped running. After a few parts she is running like a kitten again. The bed is off among other things. I'm now on my third coat of rust-oleum green paint. Still have much work to. I don't want her to sit another year!

Cool. Be careful with the Rustoleum paint. I have done two trucks with it - the paint color varies sligthly between cases of spray paint - one side of the box on my F250 is a little darker...lol... also, it oxidizes in the sun VERY quickly, so keep it waxed or shoot a clear coat on it. It is also not very durable.

I will not paint another vehicle with it. It's cheap but I have figured out that it's worth spending just a tiny bit more on paint that will actually hold up to the weather.
 
Done a lot of research on this paint should be good. Also have the mix ratio just right and I'm using a different brand of Rustoleum. Should come out nice in the end. I will post the progress.
