My youngest son has an '88 Ford F-150. When he shows up in it, the theme from Sanford and Son starts playing. He's had a run of bad luck and his older brother and I decided to paint his truck while he was out of town. Nothing fancy... just make it one color and look OK driving down the road.
Tractor Supply had Rustoleum "Farm and Implement" paint on sale. $30 per gallon. I chose "International Harvester red. Sprayed with a Harbor Freight gun after a quick scuff with scotch-brite. Took us 4 hours start to finish.
He doesn't know we did this and won't until he's back in town on Thursday.

This happens a lot to me, I do something for family and I get a meal out of it.He's taking me out to lunch tomorrow.
Get the big steak.He got back in town this afternoon and he loves it. He said it took a second to realize it was his truck.... He says the color is perfect. He's taking me out to lunch tomorrow.

Wow. That really sucks. I assume your son is ok?Well.... That didn't last long...
He got T-boned at a 4 way stop tonight. The woman that hit him pulled some real crap and called a friend to say she was a witness. The cop was a huge dick to him and then to me.... I could not believe it. Made him blow into a breathalyzer. He blew a 0.0 and asked if he made the other driver do it too. He didn't. It was profiling.... No doubt.
Anyway... She hit him so hard that it screwed up the leaf spring and blew the tire. She spun him around and into another car.
