Well I uploaded more photos onto the album http://s1173.photobucket.com/albums/r584/Rabid21/

But sadly I've run into a bit of an issue...
I was at my parts store today which was where I was going to get my colour matched paint mixed. I was flat out told that their paint would not work for me since I was going to paint roll it. Blah blah blah so this puts a bit of a issue since. I'm pretty much limited to a certain few brands but we'll see how it goes.

I'm gonna check out home hardware across the street from where I work tomorrow if I can.
See what they've got for rustoleum maybe.
Theres also Valspar so we'll see eh?
This shouldn't put to much of a ding in my plans.

Definitely use rustoleum or another metal-substrate paint. House paint will peel off very quickly.

Yea Valspar is an Anti rust paint which is what Lordco*My parts store* carries. I'm gonna see if I can find somewhere that sells rustoleum though since they have a red that is much closer to what I was originally going to go with.

Shush you!
I'm making a new thread to be the build/project thread for my truck so I can stop making new threads every 2 days lol. I'll be sure to supply lots of shiny shiny pictures for you guys lol.

With that said could a mod lock this thread so it doesn't clutter the recent posts anymore?
