Been researching paint for my '90 Ford Ranger which insists it wants to be a MV when it grows up.
Looking to do a lot of custom bodywork including a slant-back. (I know, it's not the real thing, but it's bought and paid for :D )
So the question is, for Desert Tan 686A, there's CARC, House Paint, and Gillespie, all of which seem to have supporters.
Looks-wise and function-wise (for those especially with experience with all or some of them) what's the best direction?

Not much done on tthe little beast yet: went to 16" steel rims(from 14), 235-85-16 Duratracs (figured MTR's not as good for asphalt...It's a daily driver) did some slice and dice on the fenders, new front springs and blocks, add-a-leaf and blocked the rear, and replaced the 3.47(?) rear with a 4.56 and trak-lok. Lifts were kept just for clearance, not for mile-high show:D I'll try to put up some WIP shots as I go!

Don't want to steal too much bandwidth on non-MV stuff tho... Still looking for more CARC/Non-CARC opinions!
