Truck lover,
I can tell you that the most important thing is to use the right paint, with the right thinner. (the right thinner might not be the manufacturers recommendation). Thin the paint at a rate of 50/50 and hold your air brush about a foot away and apply light even coats. Let the paint dry between coats and just apply enough paint to get good coverage. Don't obscure the details. It will save you money in the long run if you practice for a while until you get the feel of it. Let the paint dry a week before taping it off.
The taping part I'll leave for someone else.
