Sure!!
I sanded down the old paint. Ground out any surface rust. Primed everything. Then used 3 different cans of paint that matched paint that was on the cab (yellow, red and black). I tried to spray randomly, so it looked appropriate. I then took a can of white and lightly painted one coat over everything. The next day, I came back and wet sanded through alot of the white to get down to the under color. I actually sanded to bare metal in some spots. Hopefully a little rust will peek through in a few months.
Thats it. Ive seen guys perform this to a much higher standard than I did. All I wanted was for all othe panels to be tha same color without looking freshly painted. I think I did Ok.
