Gerorff mine's mainly matt black and green . I find it easier to put more paint on than clean the green off

I gave the bumpers and trim a good scrub. but was too shattered from work to key it in and sand it. maybe next time im sure it wont be long before its done again:

I have plenty of paint though. no need to worry about parking in aldi

I painted the edges with a brush and used a gloss roller for the rest
a few bits will need a little sanding before the next coat.

looks good to me & I think it makes the truck look meaner & looks a bit higher for some reason but one thing it now stands out against other green T2's

For a proper rat look you need to sand all the paint off the bonnet and let it rust Like this

That black and green go together well mate, Not sure if your painting the green parts?

I'd paint the rock sliders black, Will look much better than orange. up to you though

joys of painting my own truck I can swap and change to suit my mood

but they look mint
