It's also in the door jams, on the roof, on the hood and it's coming off more and more every time I pressure was mud off of it lol. Oh well, maybe I'll have it wrapped when it gets bad enough.

maybe part of the issue with it coming off when you pressure wash it is that you're getting too close to it with the pressure washer nozzle.

on a good high powered pressure washer, you can take good well adhered paint off a vehicle if you get too close to it while spraying. gotta have the right nozzle on it and be sure to keep the nozzle a safe distance away from the surface to prevent taking the paint off.

Ya, I've been using pressure washers for years. Mostly a Landa 3500psi with a burner that goes up to 270 degrees. Doesn't matter what I use though, compressed air will take it off spots where it's already shedding.

That's a damn fine looking boring truck if you ask me. I bet it'll last you a long time.
