my crappy paintjob
well the thread name says it all. i decided to finally rattle can my truck flat black this past saturday. i roughed it up all over with 800 grit. i primered all most all of it with 2 cans of rustoleum. the ones with 33% more. i bought 5 cnas of the 99 cent flat black. i taped everything up real good and got to work. as i was painting i noticed the flat black was going reeeaaallly quick. to make a long story short, its kinda of tiger stripped, and i ran outta paint. i had to go in to work at 4 on saturday to make things worst, so when ever i get a day off that the winds not blowing like a tornado like it has been the past two weeks im gonna redo the whole thing with krylon flat balck. take a look at the haggardness. trustyrusty atleast i tried

don't look too bad, man. i painted my truck a couple weeks ago. it took 8 1/2 cans.
deffinatly get krylon, they make the best spray paint. some have the adjustable 360 degree nozzle. works great!
EDIT: the hood is a pain in the *@&*&. you might want to take the it off and set it up vertically, i didn't do this and it shows.

well thanks guys but i dont think it looks all that great. i was gonna leave it primer gray but it was really hard to not strirpe it bad. trust me i tried. i guess its where my old paint was black. with bout 3 or 4 coats it might look okay. wow how did i know that someone was gonna say somethin about a cow. hahah. i was thinkin of leavin it and doin somethin crazy like dual cases arb's blah blah blah so the guys with there cute jeeps lifted 9 inches and huge tires would be like look at that POS toyota, right before i crawled over them. im hopefully gonna finish it next week if frickin wal mart will give me a day off. cuz i dont think the ole lady will like the looks of pullin up to prom in a dairy cow. but its gna be covered in mud so it dont matter
