Lot's of odd surfaces on that paint job. I recommend you use something that isn't likely to lift when you're faced with the inevitable touch ups.

Honestly, primer and satin finish rustoleum with some hardener.

Rustoleum is straight enamel you might have to wait a week before you attempt any touch ups.. Just read the can for re-coat times. Nothing more frustrating than touching something up and having it wrinkle.

I can live with a week. I really only get Friday Saturday Sunday to work on it.
I'll try not to miss a spot though

If you get everything on the first try, you're in the wrong line of work.

Short update today.
I got the frame all finished up, prepped and painted. Unfortunately, due to a variety of errors, I had adhesion problems.
After graduating from ducpainter university I was able to strip all that off and start over. Went after it with a two-part epoxy primer and a nice kit from SEM called hot rod black. This time it was a success.
I modified all the suspension mounting bolts to be more dangerous. Because pointy things are cool.

I had a crew of people over this past weekend to help put the bed in the cab on. This is how it currently looks.

Also, it's been 2 years since I brought this thing home. And maybe a year and a half since I started really working on it hard.
And before anybody asks, I cold blued the bolts so they wouldn't rust.
