I don't know how serious you are, but you can Rustoleum that truck for cheap, probably right around $100.

Here's the problem - if you ever intend to put REAL paint on it later, then every inch of Rustoleum has to be stripped.

But it can look decent. Seriously, look it up on the internet. A beater pickup is a perfect candidate.

I do too. I'm not looking to make a show truck just a occasional daily driver that looks half decent. I'm thinking cheap because its 4wd and its gonna be used like one so I'm sure scratches and dents and dings are gonna happen.

I saw that truck when it was on CL....guy said cab replaced b/c of rust, right?

[Cannon88]

Just paint the cab to "semi-match" and be done. Or dont worry about it at all.

I like the truck as well. I would just paint the black part white, be done with it and enjoy it.
Where you located?

+1 on a rust oleum job. They have a ton of colors and you can even get the white tinted. That $100 is all supplies too. The paint and acetone may run you about $35.

We paint our race cars with rustoleum and a roller.
