Any paint will work some are better then other mine was just cheap $100 a gallon paint that needs a reducer and catalyst. if your going to paint in the garage make sure no dust will fall from the rafters if you put plastic up above the truck and hose down the floor one to keep dust down and is easy to clean the paint off the floor the other option is put the plastic on the floor also and a exhaust fan in a window

thanks I saw the pictures on your yahoo site painting in your driveway under the EZ up shade. plenty of ventilation there. I also read a post on a mopar site about a guy in canada painting his cars with a brush and roller and rustoleum enamel paint. and to tell you the truth the results looked pretty darn good in pictures said it cost him about $50 in materials to paint his car
