I am waiting for the weekend to purchase a book. You are correct, if it does not come in a metal can with a push button and a metal ball for mixing, it is pretty new to me.
So After looking on the site here, and discussing with a friend. I am going to practice on a piece of bare metal, with the exact primer, paint and components that I will use to paint the truck.

I will work on priming, sanding, wiping down the parts, then Shooting light layers of paint, then allowing to cure, then wet sanding, and so on- I have notes, but I am going to pick up a book on basic auto painting this weekend. When I get to the point that the practice piece looks good to me, and my buddy, then I will move ahead with the body parts of the truck.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
