I think it's just the effect of the camera flash... the added highlights and shadows emphasizing the texture. They all look mighty good.

[DDWH]

Looks great Sewie!

[DarthKarl]

A total kick a$s look, Sewie. Very cool. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

S.

I bought some bumper letters (couldn't find the cheap ones http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif) and just applied them before it was sprayed. A couple others on here have done it this way.

They sprayed it pretty thick, so the lettering isn't too sharp, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Thank youuuuu!!!! I was thinking of having it done to my grey one too because everyone else's looks so good, but I'm not liking it on the grey afterall.... so thanks for sharing!

[SDH3]

Looks much better in daylight, and actually that is a good contrast with the boulder grey.

[NEOCON1]

I just keep copying Neo. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif So I guess I need some black wheels and Toyos. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[NEOCON1]

your brush guard and color choice will always set ours apart http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif you could get bfg's then you would be copying Bebe http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif LOL talk to lootie he will have a full set after he gets a few more of our spares http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[MarK M]

NEO has black wheels too?!


Neo, post up!

[NEOCON1]

i painted my stockers last night and today http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[NEOCON1]

pretty happy with the out come , just noticed i can see reflection in center cap http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[MarK M]

WOW, that looks really good!

did you have to dismount the tires...

what paint did you use? I might do that to my stocks and just might keep them for a second set of wheels/tires.

[NEOCON1]

i just pulled the wheels off truck and preped with a scotch brite pad . i didant remove tires but masked around bead with wide tape . i used some enamel that i get thru imperial supplies , i use it for painting lift-gates , fuel tanks, etc. on my commercial trucks . not sure how it will hold up over time but easy to touch up . less than two cans needed for 5 wheels http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Sewie]

not sure how it will hold up over time but easy to touch up .

Guess you'll find out next week. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Got a link or info on the paint you used?

[NEOCON1]

next week will be a good test http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

http://www.imperialinc.com/

this is the co. we get it thru but i think they cant ship it to cali. anymore . they may be able to tell you where to get it or a similar product .

[westhillsat]

Grill looks great Sewie!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Let us know how they do hold up. Would be a cheaper alternative than powdercoating. Then I can save up for real black rims! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Also, can you help a T&A out? On the website, which product exactly am I looking for? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Ipedog]

Looks great Neo! I guess I need to order some paint for my extra wheels and find a Line-x applier! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[NEOCON1]

fixed top linky is correct http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


thanks http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
http://www.imperialinc.com/items.asp?item=0851010


Hi this is the product but not in spray cans http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

http://www.imperialinc.com/items.asp?item=0851320

not sure if you can order without an account . you might call the 800 # and see if they can get the industrial gloss black in a spray for your state .

[HIHUMMER]

Thanks Neo!!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

thanks Ipe , sounds like you have a plan http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif do now and join the HOABies http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif lol its the new movement http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif and its a hell of a lot cheaper than dippin a Hummer in chrome http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Ipedog]

HOAB rocks! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Step 1: Admit to being an Elcovaholic. <span class="ev_code_RED">YES, I admit it!</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Step 2: Remove chrome grill or paint it. <span class="ev_code_RED">Working on it. Economics a factor. All in due time. </span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Step 3: Embrace your love for Line-x, Dupicolor and Rhino
liner <span class="ev_code_RED">DONE!</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Step 4: Black Chrome is a lie, it only leads to further bling denial. <span class="ev_code_RED">Agreed!</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Step 5: Powder coat or buy blacked out or color matched rims. <span class="ev_code_RED">Same answer as # 2</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Step 6: Black out H3 emblems on truck body. <span class="ev_code_RED">We'll see...</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Step 7: Black out the shiney part of your keys. <span class="ev_code_RED">This sounds obsessive compulsive... Not sure its healthy!</span> http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
