It is a rattle can paint job but it will get me by. The paint color is regale red. I still have to sand down the light bar and paint it but its only getting a high gloss black.

Man to see where the truck was at the beginning of the thread to now....incredible. You done an excellent job and she is really looking great!!!! If you don't mind me giving you some critiquing, please paint the hub caps matching red and paint the fading black bumper covers front and rear, and the door handles gloss black to match the light bar and she will look phenumonal! Really great job keep the pics a cumin

Thanks yall, the paint is a high gloss so idk if we will clear coat over it, we tried clear on the tail gate and it made the paint crinkle. It took about 26-28 cans of paint to do the whole truck. We were thinking of painting the plastic a high gloss black but what kind of paint would you use?
