face lift time

[bluesrebel]

just started painting some of the faded plastics. might paint all of the exterior plastic not too sure yet. the bedliner was easy to work with, now i just hope it lasts










will post finished pics next week

EZ liner is tits, seems to last a good while. Prep on the plastic is sort of key. My rear bumper step peeled but my wheels are in good shape after almost 2 years. Painted my custom front bumper with it too.

Looks good.I did some of this with paint.Thinking of using something like this for the cross members for the roof rack.

[bluesrebel]

thanks, its turning out good. hopefully it will hold up

[studum]

I did my back rack with it. Prep is important or it will peel away on smooth surfaces with scuffing.

I just did a quicky so will see how it holds up. I had it kicking around so thought I would give it a shot...

That looks great! I take it you can get this stuff at CT? I've got a few things that could use a coat.

[studum]

Yep it's at CT. When you use it the distance of the can to the item you're spraying determines the texture of the finish.

More texture the farther back you go I take it?

I've been wanting to redo my faded grill and darken my headlight trim, and I think you've really got me anxious to get that done now, and with that stuff.

I have all the front plastics finished now, going to start on the rear soon. ill take pictures at the end of this week when its all put back together. seems like great stuff to use, i really like the way its turning out






Put the center silver piece back on,the grille looks awesome in person.. way better then before when it was all faded

its going to look sweet. good job and love the make shift paint bay. If there is one thing I know about EZ Liner...that stuff STINKS. Oh man, talk about ozone depleting chemicals.

Thanks, yeah i got some time off. not sure about the roof rack might leave that for now. the tires are 31's. i bought them as soon as i got the truck so i wasnt sure what to get. i wish i had bought bigger but oh well maybe next year.

what paint are you using on the rails? show some pics when your finished

[the x kid]

Deciding on paint.I have a flat black right now I might go with.Although I picked up some black rocker guard that I did the roof rack crossbars with. It came out pretty good.The X is bald right now[no roof racks] and it's growing on me.Might put them back on only when I need them.

[bluesrebel]

[the x kid]
