sounds like you need a Maaco paint job! you could try doing some body prep before you take it in for paint like thoroughly washing it and then wet sanding it with some really fine wet sanding paper to remove all the old oxidation on the existing paint and this will help prep the surface for the new black paint your talking about. you might also consider stripping the paint completely down to bare metal, but this is not a home type job for a 17 year old unless you really are careful. another possibility is to check with the local vocational schools to see if they offer any body shop work as part of their training for the students, maybe they could look it over and give you some ideas on what it needs.

Thanks for the adivice roundman! Besides the paint, I plan on doin' other stuff to my car as the cash rolls in. I think some nice rims would complete the look - but i dont want a 18" chrome 'fake plastic look'... i think 15's or 16's, gunmetal, would look nice, 'specially with the black paint job. any ideas?

some nice pin stripes to accent the black paint might be a nice addition especially if you go with a monochrome paint job in all black. black is a hard paint job to make look good, but done well, they are really nice to look at. I prefer dark shades of blue myself, but to each his own! just add some color accents like some fine pinstripes to break up the monotony of the all black color and it will look great.

Hello!
My name is Tim. I am from Nebraska and I have several Fords but my 94 Flareside is my pride and joy. Her name is Ruby. The Truck is a Mark III conversion with the all leather interior, with mahogany wood door and dash accents, a mahogany overhead console, and a mahogany floor console between the bucket seats. The overhead console has vanity lighting and the controls for the lights, the radar detector, and the power sliding back window. She has 136,000 miles at the time of this post and has only need minor repair work with the exception of a new transmission. Currently Ruby is all stock but I have a 1972 302 that is getting a 347 stroker kit, mild turbo setup, and a ZEX system being built at a small shop in Plainview. It will be installed in my 88' F150 4X4 for a 10,000 mile break in. Ruby goes into the body shop in July for repairs due to a hail storm we had here in Norfolk. I am also having all door dings and scratches removed and a new coat of base clear with an ample amount of metallic flake applied. When she leaves the body shop she takes a trip south to have the plastic bed liner removed and a custom cherry wood bed is being built and installed by J.C. Enterprises located near Geneva Nebraska. The truck sits on Uniroyal Tiger PAW 60's on Progressive Deep Dish Alloy rims. The truck currently sports an Alpine AM/FM/CD player with 4 Alpine co-axial speakers in the stock locations, and a subwoofer with 2 10 inch competition drivers and a 200Watt mono Alpine Amp. I own my own computer service business so I am currently collecting the necessary components to build and all PC based audio/video system with GPS navigation and wireless web access. The goal is to have a street drivable truck that is still reliable and doesn’t look like every other farm pickup in the area.

I would love to post pics of it if you can tell me where and how.
