Well I love the way it looks, but I am not too pleased with my paint job. I think I am gonna have to try it again. You cant tell from the pics and the dirt, but the paint kinda wrinkled and even after the clear coat did not give a shiny appearence. My body shop guy is going to come look at them when he gets time to see what he can do.

Anyways here are the pics...

Looks good in the pictures, BUT you should have powder-coated them the 1st time and saved yourself the time. But experience is how we learn.:D

Used the duplicolor wheel paint and clear coat..

And yes I would have had them powder coated, BUT I would of had to send them off and be without a vehicle for several days.

TannerDon't remove them, just mask the area and paint. We sprayed Duplicolor truck bedliner after a light sanding with a palm sander.

Looks awesome. I like the black on red combo. How do you like your tires? Are they tolerable on road. Getting 35's is one of the next things I want to do. Did you do the torsion bar adjustment?

I never liked red on the H3, but you've changed my mind. Nice.

Wouldn't own any other tire. They are not the loud at all just a slight humm to let you know they are there. And yes my torsion bars are cranked 2.5 turns.


Thanks again for the compliments guys!!
