what color are you looking to do just a good scuff job and clean it well and then some bulldog adhesion promotor and the color your painting see how it comes out then you can decide if you want to clear coat or not

well i was going to try to match the truck, but what brand paint would be good for it, should i buy an airbrush?
"Ford...At least they circled the problem".
no u wont need an airbrush. a lot of the high quality paints now come with a pretty good sprayer. get duplicolor it should work pretty well for what ur doing.
thanks for the help, i will put some pics up when im done.
