Paint update

Redid the bed and painted the flares with plasti dip but after 3 coats they looked like crap. So I ended up just using using the bed liner. I bought a really rough roller to give it that rugged appearance. I think when the grille guard is installed later this week will complement it.

Whew, if anyone is wondering...
Those flares come off, the clips are cheap (they all break), the rubber surrounds are also cheap from dealer.

I couldnt mask the truck off as the full metal jacket is a spray on.

Yeah he's pretty brave... I would have removed them... Not to mention all that masking time....

All done in what looks like a poorly ventilated space.

Post some pics after it’s dry and you have the masking off of the fenders and of the bed. I’m sure it’ll look good.

Just FYI I painted the truck outside and brought it in when I was done so crap didn't blow on the drying paint.

Here's a photo of one of then fenders peeled off. And there is the grille guard I was painting today. Should have it installed tomorrow and I will post pics of the entire truck. Got the 4x4 decals in the mail today too for the bed.

Rustoleum liner. Used it on the flares too. I bought a roller pad that was very rough and it gave it a great textured appearance. Used that roller on the flares and grille guard.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do the sides of the front bumper too. It’s unique. Turned out pretty even from what the pic shows.

I was going to say something but I didn’t.

I wonder if the whole front bumper would look good like that? Where it’s already partially done. Just a thought.

No, it would look like a fleet taco.
