Can't help with the pics, but as for using "cheap spray paint on lexan" you should avoid. Unless you use a "Lexan" specific paint, it will not adhere properly. The lexan bodies are too flexible and your cheap paint will crack and peel eventually.

Hope this helps...

Most people use Styrene for drop beds. Do a search and you'll find all the info you need...

i always use standard spray paint on my lexan bodies. but i always paint the outside. i paint the inside with silver then back it with black primer, them spray the outside with couple coats of primer, then spray my color i want.
it always works good for me. just make sure you use quality paint. i like rustoleum the best.
