two to three layers, first real light, second keep it light, third layer make sure its all covered, wash the truck with a pressure washer to ensure your down to the clear coat, i use a orbit sander or a belt sander. use alcohol if you want, i didnt use any just went at it with the sander and then mineral rubbed the bare metal to make sure i got spots. if your goin with flat color dont use clear coat just keep flat paint handy. like i said above if you make it heavy it shouldnt matter if there is a scratch or not with flat paint. if you want to rubberize the truck its best to let a pro do it, i tried it and it bubbled up and ruined the truck due to rust gettin into the bubbles.

i have some pictures of my old mustang when i painted it ill look around for them. good luck and lets see some before and after with progress shots!
