I decided to repaint my F-150 (again) because i just bought new Yellow paint.

And after one week of masking, sanding, remasking, painting, and masking again, i'm finished.

You forgot the mirrors!

You also might want to try polishing the white off of the taillights using some rubbing compound. Try taking the lenses themselves out next time, you'll get a much cleaner look.

Nice job though, I like the transition from yellow to white.

the red paint was all bumpy and stuff, i didn't like it...
