I was wonder why type of paint you recommend? not trying to spend a lot of money. I would either spray paint it or use my air compressor, idk which will be easier or cheap. any thoughts?

thanks guys. I will be sure to upload pictures when i get it done. probably will be in 3 weeks once i am done with school, could be sooner though.

Check out TCPGlobal.com. Huge line of paints. Single stage enamels and acrylic enamel, 2 stage polyurethanes, satins, flats, gloss, metallics. I painted a 96 Ford F-150 for $200 in materials. Good paint and they will ship to your door. Youll spend that in rattlecans alone and prolly wont like the streaky, dry spot results. The do have several tans, blacks, greens in satin and flat for the camo look. Just a thought.
