I started working on this project in July. I am not looking to restore by any means but I wanted stop rust and keep the bed looking good. I did the rear half this summer and maybe the front half in the winter if I can find a garage to store her in. First I wire wheeled and sanded the rear tub and painted Chassis Saver from Magnet Paints.

Because of finances I had to wait for a month and a half to get the Monstaliner. I ended up going with the jeep spice because I didn't want black and it was the closest to olive 653. I scuffed the chassis saver with 220 grit sandpaper and sprayed with a schutz gun I purchased from magnetman. The rear tub took 2 quarts by spraying, I messed up on the first coat and was lightly spraying instead of laying down a good first coat. My suggestion, take your time and lay down a solid first coat. I am very happy with the outcome and help from magnetman with all my questions and mixing up quarts for me.

Looks really good. How long did you wait between spray coats?

I waited 45 minutes, it was an 85 degree day. Very easy stuff to work with. Take your time and start with one side and work your way around before you do the actual bed(I learned the hard way). Thank you!:beer:
 
Looks good. I'm planning on doing the same thing in a few weeks if everything goes well.
 
Not a 100% sure yet but I'm pulling more towards rolling it right now. Will probably get 2x 2 gallon kit in black to the underside of the tub and the interior floors/tailgate/wheel wells. With the extra 27in of body I just want to make sure I have enough material. I'm thinking I'll probably use 3 gallons to do eveything and might have some left to do my utility trailer floor.
