  15. Must be the paint y'all used. More expensive paint means better ingredients. Higher quality things.

    i aint taking that your being a dick man.. i dind spray it on i used rustolume paint and rolled it on. when its all said and done that peal will be gone. i have done the spray on my jeep in the past and right now i kinda wish i did it that way but i needed to get the black down first so i could use the bedliner to match my rockers
     
  18. Once you use the bedliner, it'll look alright. What kind are you using?
     
  19. will be ok, just wet sand before you put more paint on and should turn out ok
    it takes time
