Jason, that looks killer. Can you elaborate on that "$30 paint job"?

was that a roll on job or a krylon job? either way DAYUM! I have a truck I'm resurrecting as a DD and a farm truck that I'm planning on selling but the more and more I work on it the more I want to keep it...wife might kill me though. I think a paint job like yours would do it plenty of justice.
