Majic tractor paint.
$55 a gallon at tractor supply.
Works good for old bötè trailers and old equipment.
Brush, roll, or spray.
A buddy sprayed his '79 Chevy short bed white and looked good.

curious. Why are the shops not wanting to do full repaints? Seems odd, turning away business in your field.

I had Maaco do a complet color change on my F250 in 2019 for $3500. I went with the premium package with the 5yr warranty that included a cut and buff. The problem with them is if the don’t circle a dent they won’t fix it. Plus I removed all molding, mirrors, lights anything I could remove to get a better prep & paint out of them. I will say I sold the truck in 2022 and it still looked nice and had a shine to it

I have used MAACO a couple times over the years. Did the majority of the prep work myself. But their paint work was fine. Aftermarket metallic finishes never look that great to me, but for single stage colors they seem fine.

I pulled the chrome, primer coated, taped off the rubber around the windows. I did a great prep job. On my way home driving it again, I realized I had left newspaper taped over the radiator. LOL. Almost overheated. Doh!

When I was a kid my mom had my Chevelle painted by them
A year later it just started flaking off

Went to a car wash and with a high pressure hose peeled 80% of the paint off
Back then I think it was $39 paint job
They painted over trim
