Once I get the windows tinted I was thinking about putting a spotlight like
they have on the Crown Vics on the drivers side. What else do you guys
think would look good, subtle changes that can be cheaply done. I'm going
for a police truck appearance. :laughing: :wink2:

Light-bar or Starsky and Hutch style magnetized police light.
Police scheme paint (here it's black front and back with center doors and
top white...basically.

Haha I think I'm gonna paint "the fuzz" inside a sort of police badge on
each side of the door. :laughing:

I gotta be honest what I really wanna do now is just sand it down and
primer it and somehow get a clearcoat on top to protect it. What is my
best bet to do?

I thought the idea of the primer was the flat look, and surely clearcoat
would make it more of a glossy finish?

He is right....
But...if you do not break through the current finish on the truck there is
no reason to have to put anything on top of the primer. Just scuff whats
there and spray it down. Eventually the UV rays will break down the primer,
but if you get 2 good coats of a quality Epoxy you should be fine for a few
years. If you want to have it last longer just apply a matte clear. Or you
could have a paint shop mix up some grey paint with a flattening agent in
it to dull it out.

for something that is going to last, and look good after a year in the sun
and rain, wouldn't he want something that is meant to be a finish coat, and
just use a flattening agent like you said? I would think even with 2 good
coats of primer, it would be hard to keep clean. wouldn't dirt and bugs and
such be more difficult to get off? not exactly my field of expertise, just
thinking out loud. (sorry hobo)
also saw this stuff
(http://www.eastwood.com/rat-rod-flat-black-paint-kit.html) at Eastwood,
not cheap, but maybe a better option.

I would like to maybe go for the rattle can look, just to make it be one
bamf. :smoke:
If I painted it flat black and used some sort of clearcoat over it via
rattle cans how long would it look good?

I think you can give an aggressive look as trucks are big in size and by
providing aggressive looks with the help of big bumpers on all 4 side with
tiger skin coloring graphics will make your truck to be the big bad boy,
isn't it ?
