I love the color also. my truck is the same. sometime it will be black, others purple, or just be blue, depending on the light.

 

hmmm...maybe not...
people are always confused by it, i get "do you like having a black truck, they are hard to maintain" all the time

and yes my BLUE truck in a PITA to maintain...

 

Dark colors are a pain, but they look great when they're cleaned up. Truck looks great.

 

Looks a lot better.

 

nice clean look man!

 

Looks damn good, love that dark blue

 

Thanks everyone!
here is what i did
I used a wax and grease remover, sanded with 220, then used a flexible primer made for plastic, did three coats sanding in between.(i still have some texture, the primer had some fill, but not enough). I then painted with a Binks hvlp, i had to have some paint mixed up at an auto paint store. then cleared with duplicolor truck and suv clear. let it cure, wetsand and buff.
I didnt fill the texture in all the way but oh well, last night i wetsanded and buffed it out, it is a little smoother now
