My 83 pickup in need of paint

[toysnowta]

Well here's my baby. It's kinda rough now but the paint and the rest of the body work should be done by friday. It has a 4" pro comp lift, 35" toyo open country

m/ts and 5.29s with an aussie up front. Tomarrow im putting in a sun roof and an sr5 gauge cluster. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any

suggestions for my build.

Sweet   Are you gonna paint it yourself or have it painted?  I've been curious to try the roll on method, but it's not much more to spray it if you already have all the equipment.

Nice  I did the role on.  Would have sprayed it had I had the equipment.

You don't happen to have a link to the threads about rolling it do you?  I searched over on pirate and came up dry

http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=28797.0  This is my build page.  Not sure what page it is on.  I did not write a lot about it.  I just sanded the truck then got Rust Oleoum (hope I spelled that right) and rolled it on.  I used a brush on the parts I thought a roller wouldn't fit first.  Mine is just a off road truck though.

I've got a sun roof from an 87 4 runner, so I'm just gunna cut a hole in the roof, put silicone around the bottom and drop it in. At least I hope it's gunna be that simple.
