All my other trucks are Toyota. Newer Tundra and 2 older pickups. The wife has a new Rav4.

Plastidip advice, just to watch all of the DYC videos and get your technique down before doing the truck. Most important is 6"s or less away from the surface and keep the gun at a 90* angle. And of course prep, and don't overdue it on the tape. I found it easier to tape 1/8" from the true edge, that way you don't have to worry about peeling tape while the dip is still wet. That was probably the most difficult part of the job doing it solo, trying to peel tape while it's still wet.

If doing it outside like I did, wait for a day with no wind, low humidity, and hose down about 25ft around the truck to keep dust down.
