    I was going to say it look like it was brushed on...a real GI job!...lol.
    Let us know how it holds up. Will be interesting to see if it holds up better than regular automotive type paint like Aervo or Gillispie, PPG, etc. Looks a tad to shinny to me, but that should dull down quickly.

    Sherwin Williams sells a product called DTM or direct to metal, in oil base or latex. I prefer to use the oil base. They can match the military colors. It comes in semi-gloss as well. I use this product on metal garage doors, screen doors and anything that is clean pre primed or clean bare metal. It seems durable and works nice. I think it is more expensive than Gillespie, but maybe not with shipping involved. Just another option for the DIY guys. There are lots of Sherwin Williams paint stores around, and Home depots as well. Your floor pan looks great. I think I will probably go with Herculiner for mine. Fisherman

    That's the same stuff you did the bed with ain't it? Also, about the seatbelts, did the 715 come with them? If so mine are missing and I haven't looked for any type of mounting holes. Just assumed they weren't equipped with 'em from the factory. Anyhoo, your's are obviously not original but now I'm wondering if there are original attachment points for them or were they added later?
