Overall awesome job!
The brand of paint is rust-oleum black lacquer but I don't think it's the brand that gave it that texture effect. It's really because the can I used was an old one so the velocity of the spray is reduced or the can is semi glogged so the spray didn't come out as a fine mist. Purely by accident I have to admit and I'm quite surprised that people like the look of it. I went shopping for some more krylon fusion (what I wanted to use orginally but ran out) and saw that they have textured paint so if people want to have that effect their are paints out there that can give that effect. The upper legs (as well as other silver looking parts) is krylon fusion nickel shimmer (a silvery color).
Hobbyist Prime, it may look thicker but it actually isn't. So it doesn't effect transformation anymore than any paint would.
Pun-3X, the paint apps I added from the initial pics I showed are the red on the shoulders/front bumper, red forearms, and silver thighs. It definitely does break up the blackness I had before. Those cannons in the bed do come in handy when you have Starscream on your tail doesn't it?

Asphalt, the pistol is the same pistol/engine that comes with Alt Prime. The cannons are from some imitation GI vehicle which I modded to fit in the truck bed.
