    Well I do not know to much about paint, but basically I have been working on an 1st generation s10 v8 project for the last 2 years that is finally almost ready to be fired up for the first time. The cab and bed on this truck are solid, but the doors and fenders have actually rotted out from sitting in a storage shed over the winter. I would like to get something on the truck to prevent the cab and bed from rusting until I have a place to take the time to paint it the way I want to. It's so hard to find a first generation s10 around here with a solid cab and bed and I want it to stay that way.
