OK spent all afternoon, behold one yellow rover, and a shot of me spraying it

I bought the hardener and reducer for the gallon, said on them makes it hard and glossy

Paint from pic above was dry this morning but soft, so gonna give it till Monday I think before I go bolt in stuff on

Yeah the blue bled through I had to coat and stand back to look, I only wet the truck and took a scotch brute pad to it, think course pad, rinse to be sure there were no waxed spots where water went away fast

Think I got no fish eyes in paint except maybe inside door jams cause I did not prep em

Cleaned up bubbled/ corroded areas with the 90* die grinder with course pad then hit those areas with self etch primer, dry and scuff

There are a few runs on roof I did not sand out but figured with the rack no biggie

Got a lot of over spray in the doors to cleanup but overall was 1.5 qts of paint to do this so I got plenty left
Total cost under $100

Hopefully it holds up ok

Figured 2 hours after I finished fog rolled in so I hope the paint wasn't ruined last nite

looks nice, you must have some good pesticides in NJ around me the paint would have be filled with flying insects before I could get the wet coat on.

Respayed looks good now except the bugs but it will get scratched in the woods anyway

Will post new pic when I finish touch ups etc., looks great with the black rack and all on it, paint is real funny cloudy or shade looks mustard like it should, direct sun looks yellow like xd???
