Nice truck. Paint looks fine from afar. Which bits are poor?
My recommendation on that would be to pressure wash the wheels arches back to their correct original black colour (same with the wing mirrors and filler cap) but I am not a fan of body coloured arches. I assume you did not do the pain job as it has been given a proper farm job of spray everything, even the door handles have been covered!
Your local paint supplier should be able to match the colour if you bring in a part they can scan (the filler cap would be ideal for that)
Thank you, yeah I'll give that a try, I'm not a fan either of body coloured arches.
Yep painting was done by one of the previous owners, they must have only covered up the windows haha

I am a farmer but even I would have put some masking tape on the door handle,
hell one would get paint on ones hand as no time for it to dry properly.Have a look at "Breakwells paints" site they do Tractol synthetic enamel and have a colour match service.

Just flash over the arches with black gloss, job done.
Gloss!! You need to have a quiet word with yourself!!
I would advise against raptor because it is textured. It is personal preference but it is difficult to remove once applied so you are then Stuck with it and any future resale will be limited because of it.Might look into a matte black spray paint or even raptor
I would also start with a strong pressure washer. I would put a good wager that that will remove 90% of the paint on the arches as it is already flaking and unless the plastic was suitable primed (I would guess not based on the “masking” job done on the rest of it) it will not be stuck very well.
