I thought it would be a bit of a stretch to get the box well covered as well with only one gallon. Not to mention the difficulty of getting the subsequent coats in there since you can't stand on wet paint.

awseom. I am about to spray mine this weekend. theres so many little nicks in the paint which turned to small surface rust spots over the years its been a real hassle getting them all clean. itll look pretty tho. good luck to you as well!

I hear ya, mine was the same. I got my sunvisor back, I got some new mudflaps and I bought some slightly used Traction king tires for it today...Hopefully I'll have everything back to the way it was this weekend.

Looks real good. I vote for new headlights and taillights all around. Will make it look real good. Also... if you think that's alot of prep work, how about an econoline. It's just pure painted surfaces minus windows...:eek:

IF (!!!!!!!) I ever get mine painted it will be that color two toned with a black around the middle (like from the windows down to just above the rocker panels). I have seen some painted like that and it looks good. But my wife wonders why I would want to spend money on this rig....
