1st i think your truck looks amazing for what you did! Is it glossy in person? Is there any orange peel?
You said you preped it like any other paint job but you didn't primer...? I didn't read that you applied any clear coat. Are you going to? If not, how is the paint protected? Also, you keep talking about the paint looking milky? Did you thin any of it out yourself or did you just take the paint can and empty it into a pan and roll it on the truck like you paint the walls in your house? Did you use a brush for the tight areas?
Thanks for your time and the write up! After seeing your pics i will be doing this to my truck very soon!
