I'm surprised how much redder the red looks now. It used to have a wine look to it, but this made quite a difference.

The black makes a huge difference, if I get a gravity feed spray gun im going to paint mine a sexy gloss black, the rustoleum is starting to turn white around the edges :(

Did you remove the trim and paint it separately or did you tape it and paint it on there? I bought a couple cans at Home Depot yesterday and plan on doing mine this afternoon maybe. Also, when I was at home depot I tested the PD and it did seem to run / drip a bit. As such I'm wondering how far to hold the can away from the object and whether I want to do two of three sweeping layers or what...never done anything like this before but I'm excited!!!!

Pd is probably better then the bedliner, my bedlined fenders are splitting and turning white because of wax, I even cleared it alot!

Well, both sides are done now..... I just have to do the back. It got damn windy yesterday. I kept having to pick mosquitoes out of the PD. I think I'll leave the bottom. It's already black. I only have 4 cans of the stuff. I wan't to get all the tan first. It's hard to find in Canada.
