dont you worry i will i just gotta be careful.. were i live. you get caught doing a burnout or anything like that is considered "stunting" and you will get your car impounded for a week the first time getting caught and gotta pay a ticket/towing fee/impound lot fee. and we hold the biggest car show in the summer time and everyone does burnouts like massive ones on the beach and ive seen some $100000 cars get towed away lol.. its sooo frggin stupid. but yea ill def do some before i put some new tires on i just wish i could quickly throw a locker in its imbarrasing doing a one wheel peel lol.. my dakota does 2 lol. the best burnout machine is my old Dakota R/T that thing u cant drive without spinning the tires lol
this is same set up minus headers as my w150 it sounds alot like this but way more deeper sounding

Ha. I've seen your videos before. Nice little Dak you had there, good old 360. Needed a bigger air cleaner though. 
There is a bunch of videos with an 01 Dak RT with a 383 with a 4 speed. Thing is insane.
And sorry about your city traffic laws. I do my peel outs behind a large store here, road to nowhere is in the back.

There were two guys who painted their trucks with rustoleum and a roller, and I was one of them. I also have bedliner on the bottom third of my truck like you want too. I forget the other guy's name, but if anybody else can chime in, he was a member with an early 80s d350 that he painted from white to black.
Anyway, here is the thread from the first and second time I painted my truck. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ggestions.html
Learn from my mistakes. If you don't know what you are doing, a roller is way easier. You'll still need spray cans for certain areas like between the bed and cab. No splotches, no runs, no splatter when the gun jams. My purple paint job was an alykd enamel for the purple, and the black was rustoleum. The black was still perfect two years later, and the purple looked like dookie, and wouldn't take to wax or shine up at all even at first. It was all sprayed on the first time, and I ended up getting a fair amount of orange peel and runs.
The three best things about having a rustoleum and bedliner paintjob:
1. You can touch everything up with $5 spray cans from any place that carries paint.
2. You can add another layer of bedliner any time you want to make it stronger and it will blend in.
3. If your truck gets egged a week after you paint it, you giggle like a school girl and are ecstatic that you didn't spend $1500 on paint. Then you take 15 minutes, and fix it.

I am going to use Rust-Oleum to paint my Rat (rod) truck but, I am going to spray it on with a paintgun. I have a link to Hot Rod where they did it and it looks good. They used flat black but, I am sure you can do it with any other color that they have with out any problems. Here is the link. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/b...flat_painting/

Maybe Smoke Gray? Do you want a gloss or a flat color? You could do a gloss smoke gray with a satin black strip at the back like you had talked about. I think that would look real good but, that is just my opion. Orange is good to. I have a 77 w150 crewcad that is orange. Do orange with a satin black strip would look really good too. It is just what ever you want cause it is yours and you have to live with it. I do like the strip idea you had. I might have to do that to one of mine. I might do satin black on the truck with a flat white strip on my Rat truck.
