I am the master at rattle can jobs.
Yes the truck has grey buckets in it right now, I am currently looking for a clean set of Spice buckets and console, carpet will be in the near future also.
Just gotta have a little ambition to get stuff done.
Well I'll have some good pics up in a bit. After stepping back a ways I must say the truck looks killer.

Got all the trim and emblems on today along with the front wheel mouldings. I also got some new chrome edging for the dually flairs. Then I polished all the chrome and turned the mothers loose on the wheels.

Not gonna lie I am very jealous. That truck has come a long way and looks great. The wheels just top it off. I bet that's a nice tow rig. Wish I had one like it this summer to haul my truck to the pulls.

How many rattle cans did it take to do the truck? How many coats? Did you use a rattle can primer as well?
My daughter's 91 has the original white paint which is peeled all over. The body is straight and no rust yet but I know that will change if I don't do something to fix the peeled paint and exposed primer soon. I would be open to doing a good gloss white rattle can job if I thought it would look decent, last a couple years and seal enough to prevent rust.

Do the cheap restoleum paint job. Do a google search for the exact details. But I've seen a few threads around on the boards I frequent about guys using this method. One guy actually sprayed his car with an electric paint sprayer!
Oh and BTW the truck is looking better and better.
