Yeah you shouldn’t put wrap over bad paint, it will look like sh*t.

Any of you have one? What should I run in it? Diesel?

I guess mine may not be that bad - the paint is showing some oxidation, not peeling clearcoat or anything YET.
But it doesn't look like something I want to tackle - looks like a lot of cussing from me would ensue. And so many other things to fix, it seems a stupid thing to spend several hundred bucks on, when I need so many other mechanical things fixed, as well as other cosmetic issues.
I think I've about reached the point of not being sure it's worth spending any more money on this truck. It needs SO much, I will have to commit to many thousands to get it 'right' again, or just drive it ugly and beat up 'till the wheels fall off. <sigh> I dunno.

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my truck. I would LOVE to totally restore it to like new factory condition - new interior, new paint, new front end, etc. I just don't know I have the time, money, patience, and if it's really worth it or possible.
If the clear coat is questionable it probably won’t stand up to the peeling and repositioning needed when doing a wrap.I guess mine may not be that bad - the paint is showing some oxidation, not peeling clearcoat or anything YET.
