That is Latex, you dont want to use it on your truck. Find something oil based, it will hold up longer and look better.
 
two maybe, if it sits outside even a year. You ever see a house get that chalky look to the paint? Same thing will happen to your truck.

alright yeah i have seen that. alright ill look for a different paint. thanks for the warning!. im gonna go to napa and see if they can mix one up for me.
 
thanks! i been online most of the night lookin for the right color, so ur chart is another add to the list!:laugh: thanks again!
 
I spent a lot of time looking around before I painted mine and still had a couple of links bookmarked. Lucky for me Rapco is about an hour from my house, so I didn't have to pay the shipping. Glad I could help.
 
Would that stuff be ok to use on brackets and such? I've painted nearly all my new spring brackets, shackles, axle truss and diff covers with that stuff (from spray can though) and I painted the front clip of the truck last year. So far the paint looks good.

I would think brackets and such would qualify as general industrial applications, haven't tried it yet though.
