Overall picture with stripe removed. I used all duplicolor products starting with filler primer then ending with crystal clear. New wheels next month along with getting my front windows tinted.
the paint looks like a perfect match in the pics. is it the e4 paint code? also, did you take the door handle apart to paint it or put painted covers on?

Neither, painted them right on the truck. If you know how to tape and mask good then you can get away with it. Just gotta be able to get in those angles without spraying to much. But overall I had no problems and would do it exactly the same next time. Seems the most important part is when you do your original sanding the more time you take then the easier the rest is. So as usual the most important part of painting is the prep work. And yes it is E4, the duplicolor name is "cardinal red" and requires the clear coat to make it match.

Great job! The Krylon Fusion works great for white. I've done my mirrors already but haven't had time yet to do the handles. Definately gonna get those and the tailgate done before the end of the year.
I used automotivetouchup.com paint for my grill surround ... it matched pretty well, considering I was trying to match 10 yr. old paint. It took numerous coats to get even coverage. I was really concerned about running out of paint, seeing how it took 2 weeks to get the paint from them.
