Wow that is a daring adventure. Make sure you sand everything down real good first. I would never even think of painting my own truck, lol. But take lots of pics and let us know how it does.
And usually a stencil of some sort is used.

hey man, i work in an autobody as a quailty control manager. The key to a succesful paint job is the prepping job, the guys at the shop who take there time most often have way less polishing or redo's becasue of it. I can't tell you anything about spraying as i have never done it. As for the stencil, you may be better off going to a custom vynl shop to have an f-150 sticker made up and then apply it after wards...
