Default Did some painting today

Well I got bored and went and was wandering around the auto parts store. I found some spray in bedliner from a rattle can. Well I picked up 3 cans of it got some sandpaper and some tape. Some before and after pictures. Im not done yet. Plan on removing toolbox tomorrow to finish the bed rails, doing the lower half of truck to make it a two-tone look, and if I decide to get real spunky I want to do the center section of my hood. Let me know what you guys think.


Before: All taped up

Finished up the bed rails and lower panels of the bed today. Ran out of paint so i couldnt finish the rest of the truck like i wanted to. I like the look of it and im hoping that it lasts for a while.

Looks good. What brand of paint is it? I don't think you should do the hood, tho. Too much of a good thing

Is mag chloride not approved out there like it is in CO? I guess I'm a little shocked that "salt" is still being used. Enlighten me please.
