Rhino line the whole truck would be my advice.

Seen a couple Tacomas and Jeeps done that way. They looked awesome.

I imagine that would be costly

You can spend a little or a lot on a pair t job. A little won't last as long as alot paint job. What's your budget? Dyi?

It's older truck but the body is good it runs good drives good used to be my daily driver but now it's more if a hunting and fishing truck.

Be sure to not hold the can too close to the surface. That reduces runs in the paint.

Give it a good scuff, wipe down with was and grease remover then spray. Without these 2 steps paint won't last no time. If you got a spraygun you could buy some decent paint that will hold up alot longer than rattle can for under 200 bucks. Go talk to your paint store to see what they got.

When I looked into that, I found folks recommending tractor paint. Cheap and durable. Get a harbor freight spray gun if you own a compressor already, or one of their electric paint guns if you don't.

That and an airless sprayer will be fine.

Unless you have a air compressor that will pump out 6 cfm, then use a cup gun but it's a pain when your tryin to spray paint and run out of air.
