Once all the body work was completed, it was time to go ahead and finish the painting. I really wanted to paint the truck red since that is my favorite color. However, the previous color had been dark blue. Since, I couldn't take all the body panels off, I decided to stick with the blue scheme. I went with Rustoleum Sail Blue. Honestly, I get complements every time I take it out for a spin. The color seems to work. Perhaps it is because we live on the coast next to the Gulf.
The paint application was combination of rattle can and roll on method. I found some helpful videos on YouTube and decided to give it a try. I think it turned out pretty good. Below, I will post pics of the exterior paint.
