Thanks! I kept it simple since I expect to use the truck as a truck and want the option to touch it up. I used Kilz primer (because I had it) and Behr Ultra semi-gloss black exterior paint. I sanded a little bit between coats to try to smooth it out. I used Floetrol to try to get the paint to smooth out and flow better. Not sure that it really helped.

The strips are plain steel and the bolts are the zinc kit from Classic Industries. The strips were marked Tri-Plus. They are painted Rustoleum satin black.
