Painted my truck couple weekends ago myself.
I used the roll on interlux paint though.
Here it is two days before I started. I had already replaced a rusty drivers side front fender and sealed up a few other small problem areas a week or so in advance of painting.
All scuffed and sanded down. I removed the door moldings, front bumper, and tail lights to try and make everything look nice. The heavy sanding down the side was where a factory decal that was stuck on with some god awful glue used to be.
Sanded my home made bumper down good to for a coat of paint.
More looking crappy.:p
Outside baking in the sun after 3 coats. It was pretty much dry to the touch at this point.
All done and back together. I painted the chrome front bumper black as well after giving it a good sanding and treating it with Por15.
Never did put that tailgate handle back in.
Total cost including brushes rollers and sanding discs under $100

Not too shabby. I'm gonna have to get me a set of those gnarly mud flaps to put on my truck. I painted my black truck's faded roof and hood with some paint from tractor supply (gloss black mr spray) and it held up fine. Even after I rolled it the paint only chipped where the metal was bent real bad.
It's dirty but if you compare it to the paint on the sides it looks about the same.
