I went with a gloss enamel in charcoal gray for a "utilitarian" look. It is a Rustoleum color that nobody carries anymore. I painted the trailer first, and them couldn't find the paint. I found the last five cans I needed for the Zuk in Florence, KY and haven't seen any on the shelves since.
Looks great; rattle can?
Did you prep/prime?
Clearcoat?
How many cans?
I'm thinking same color; like a gun metal grey with wheels and accents a shade or two darker or black.
Yes it is a rattle can job. The results depend heavily on the prep. Take as much "stuff" off the truck as possible (grill, tail lights, marker lights, bumper covers, trim, top, mirrors...) The original paint was in pretty good shape, so we wet sanded with 320, primed any spots that showed bare metal, then wet sanded again with 400.
Treat the can the same as you do a gun. In other words, don't start or stop the spray over the work surface, and get a feel for the proper distance to cover the surface wet, but without running.
It took 5 or 6 cans to do the 2dr. Buy a couple extra for covering trail rash.
It was an enamel paint, so no clearcoat.
The main thing to remember is that 99% of the people who see your truck see it from more than 10 ft away.
I started with the lighter gray, like the car that Gen-Erix posted. It was OK, but to me, it looked like shiny primer.
