Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Thoroughly wash the truck to remove dirt and grime.
• Use sandpaper to smooth out any scratches or chips in the old paint.
• Carefully mask off areas that shouldn’t be painted, such as windows, lights, and door handles.

Step 2: Primer Application

• Apply a coat of rust-preventative primer to protect the truck’s body and provide a better surface for the paint to adhere to.
• Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Paint Application

• Evenly apply the paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Apply 2-3 coats of paint for optimal coverage and a glossy finish.

• Remove the masking tape and clean the truck.
