Took me around 5 months painting panel by panel during weekends. Previous repaint was already cracking due to being applied too thick. After learning a bit about automotive bodywork and painting, I decided to DIY it to save on labor.

Added a little bonus and wet-sanded and applied 2k clear on the headlights.

Tried electric paint gun on the hood and came out with so much orange peel that I decided to use my old compressor and buy a cheap HVLP and LVLP gun for the rest of the panels. Also bought some stickers that would be a great fit for a white truck.

Only ones remaining are the front and rear bumpers and the side mirror housings to be painted with matte black and clear.
