I was expecting the color to look ugly but it doesn't.
I think it looks good I mean it was between international/ ford blue a grey or john deere green. I said hell why not. After I fix the doors and buckets I'm done for awhile unless I find a diesel motor for cheap :evil27:

What is the temperature?
If its not 65-70 degrees or more it will take longer to cure
What ratio did you mix the paint?
They make different reducers for different temperatures as well, some flash quicker then others

This was done with Rustoleum Industrial Gloss Black with a smooth foam roller. Word of the wise, if you do roll it, use a new roller for each coat. I f'd mine up and got little foam bits all in my second coat. Now i gotta sand it all down and re-do it. fortunately i found a few dents i had missed before so i can fix those too. Just to show, it can be done and can look great.

I know its not a truck, but my daughter designed the paint job and I painted it. I did it in a small shop for less than $300 and it looked killer!

**EDIT** Pic shown here was before any wetsanding or buffing. This is just how it sprayed. Turned out shinier later after wetsanded and buffed.
