bigger plans than that, I wanna see how things unfold though. It might be legit, or a total crap shoot, my first thought right now is little bits of rust repair, shocks, then tires. However, the 50 dollar paint just has been under heavy consideration all summer.

It would look legit with a spray on rusto paint job

I guess, we will see what the next few months bring

The "$50 paint job" isn't that bad for a vehicle like this. One thing though, it's a lot of work and takes a lot of time. If you already have an air compressor consider shooting automotive paint. Depending on what you need to get and what paint you go for you might get away with $150.

Plastidip is like 6 bucks a can.Stays on good. Theres guys on f150forum thats had it for years. There is no prep work besides cleaning the truck.And you can peel it off if you need to. Sprays flat,fixes easy.

If you did yours, which I'm sure your rims are far less rusty, Id say it would take 4 hours give or take, depending on how much prep you do and how long you let each coat of paint dry for. This one is getting a 24hr cure before the plastidip goes on
