Hey Jazz, I'm an inexperienced painter. Is there any particular color that is "easier" to spray than the rest?

Lighter colours are less apt to show flaws. Metallics are apt to give you the most problems and harder to touch up if there is a flaw. That said I would paint any colour. What is important is technique of spray pattern. Watch a few youtubes and see how they overlap while painting. Also you cut in to start painting. Just like painting a room in a house do all the cut in first.
Wear full mask for painting and cover up yourself. Paint is very toxic and can cause...hey you see the red squirrel?

Truck had been painted at some point and plenty of dirt landed in paint so the roof was getting very rough so I decided to scrub down the whole truck and spray paint it. Of course a fly had to land on the fresh paint, tried to remove him but only got the wings. No I did not bother removing any dings on panels. Possibly do a more in-depth body job when my ambition returns
I sprayed with Restoration Shop Acrylic Urethane single stage. Managed to spray truck as well as inside of box with about 1 1/2 quarts of paint so plenty left for the next time.

Picked up a tonneau cover cheap, clear coat was lifting so I could not resist. Has a few chips and one chunk that need attention but for $60 its fine. Just have to decide on colour as it will be coming from my collection of left overs which is getting slim.
Tonneau cover is just for the winter, upgrade from the $6.00 tarp

Nice. What colors do you have to choose from?
Midnight purple, gun metal grey, flat and gloss black. Cover will only be used during winter
Decided on gloss black, got a good dump of snow today so got the cover on in time. Also sourced NOS handle for cover and since I did not know what size struts to put on cover I picked a set out of clearance bin at RV store for $7 each,,a bit short but do the job
