Truck is turning out nice! I think those rims look ugly, and if you're going for a blackout look, why not just get all black rims? I do have a question about the frame paint, did you take the bed off at all?

Dinngus no i didnt i just wire brushed everything real good and started sprayin away. I did have one of those plastic handguns for spray paint that made it alot easier.

Justin- i need to do it on my valence cuz i used 220 sandpaper and it left some scratches. I was goin to but it saod clear plastic so i didnt think it would work.

220 is a little much. I went with 400 but I used plastx to shine it up after the clear coat not to really correct too much
