Wow!!! That is sharp! Kudos to the painter! Hey, allow me an unsolicited recommendation:
Take that beauty out to an open grass field with trees as a background (no visible distractions) on a clear day and shoot some "glamor" shots using a good camera. Be cognizant of the lighting and move the truck for best lighting.
30 or 40 years in the future you may appreciate the time it will take to create photographic remembrances of the awesome truck you had painted!

Looking nice!!!
I'm on the fence about painting mine this summer.
Looks like you used Gillespie spray cans?
What kind of prep work did you do?
Anything you would have done different in hindsight?
I'm considering power wash, degrease, wire brush rust, rustoleum red metal primer, scuff, paint with gillespie spray cans.
thx
Mikey
