Rustoleum is decent paint, those cans that messed up on me at the neck of the nozzle just made me mad because they spattered all over what I was painting and I had to redo it. They say it has a 2 year guarantee that it will stop the rust if you remove the loose stuff and clean it. If you got all of the rust off then any paint will keep it from rusting again.
I just prefer Krylon because it's half the price and it looks really good. I always have a few cans of Krylon flat black on hand. I have it in a few places on my truck and every time I weld something it gets hit with flat black.

How much does it cost in Canada to get the windshield replaced? I know y'all get burned on most things related to vehicle maintenance/repair and that got me wondering.
I'm not going to replace my windshield until that crack comes over in front of the drivers seat. It doesn't bother me because I don't ride on the passenger side. It will make you go cross eyed if you sit over there though.

Up here a wind shield costs when I got mine replaced was around $400( give or take a 100 depending on what vehicle and where you go) thats if you dont go through autopac. if you go through autopac its your deductible( $200 or $500)

speaking of windshields I have to get mine replaced again, my hood decided it wanted to meet my windshield at 100km/h ( 62mph) about an hour out side of winnipeg.( got it replaced first time in feb cause of a crack)

I don't see how Canadians can afford to do their own maintenance, we should start a parts smuggling operation to get y'all some reasonably priced parts.

That's what it costs here too Max, Safelite?

And the fun continues...
Removed, disassembled, and refinished my rear license plate mount.
Redid the wiring for the hitch.
Removed the spare tire winch assembly, been unused for years.
Removed the tailgate and started prepping the back splash panel
Feels so strange to be working on my truck again.
