New Paint
ok ok, it's a rattle can job harp on me if you want. But when you don't have alot of money(just outta high school) you go with whatever you can. I have to admit there are a few mistakes that I made, fixing later 
. But I think it's not too shabby. The paint is a textured flat black used for bed liners, so I thought what the heck I'll give it a shot.. Took me about 12 hours to do. Took my time. Here's what it looks like....hope you like.

haha yeah..that dent has always been there, even before I got it. And it's not painted over. It was already painted flat black stock. But it doesn't bother me, lol. Just more personality.

Well, originally I wasn't going to use the textured stuff. But while I was at Home Depot I saw the stuff on a strip of metal...fell in love. Glad I bought it. lol 
I would like to put a layer of clear coat on just to be safe.....I need to get gas before I get it Dirty.
