GL: What kind of tires do you have on there?

They look like GY MTRs, but I can't tell for sure.

Ipedog 05-01-2006 12:35 AM

Very Nice, TGL!

How doe you like the Dupli-Color truckbed coating for the lights? I picked up a can and am considering doing the grill with it.

The stuff your grill is done with seems, for the lack of a better word, "glittery"... Is the Dupli-Color stuff like that too, or is it more "flat"?

Excellent work! Truck looks great and I love the H3 emblems!

Thanks, I wouldn't recommend using that on the grill, because mine they used "hot spray", they will last longer.

Dupli-color truckbed coating is flat black. Yes, my grill looks glittery just because I put tire shine.

I am waiting for the rims, I am pretty sure I will be blacking out the rims on my Superior Blue and adding a black gas cap cover. How did you hook up the fog lights you mounted on the brush guard? I really like it

TGL - I don't want to make a mistake here... Why don't you recommend this? Does the Dupli-Color stuff seem fragile or brittle? Did it not work well for the lights?

I'll spring for the line-x, but would rather save 80-90 bucks if possible. BUT, if the Dupli-Color stuff is going to fall apart...

Well, the Dupli-Color is basically a cold spray, coming out of a pressure can. Spray On Bedliners or Line-X uses a hot spray. It dries rock hard and will last a long time. They also have a large spray gun to cover large areas evenly. The Dupli-Color works great on little stuff you can repair easily, but for the grill I just think it would be better to have it professionally done. That’s all.

cheers!!

The Green Lantern 05-01-2006 03:13 PM

It worked great for the lights! But as for brittle or fragile, only time will tell.


Ipedog 05-01-2006 03:17 PM

Fair enough. Thanks.

Ipedog, I used the Dupli-Color truckbed coating on my grill and am extremely happy with the results. It is very durable and has a flat finish to it. I figured i would rather spend 20 bucks to do it myself, if it works, awesome, i save about 100 bucks, if not... no biggie.
TIPS: 1) I used a full 2 cans on it.
2) scuff up the with like 100 grit.
3) try to apply it at 90* angles otherwise you get a VERY rough surface, I would suggest hanging it.

If you have any questions, let me know.

got my skid plate and roof bars sand blasted and powder coated...

Sewie 05-02-2006 05:11 PM

Damn TGL, you're not f'n around.

I'm curious to see how well the PC holds up on the skid plate. Looks great for now though.

The Green Lantern 05-02-2006 05:16 PM

the guy said it should hold up pretty good, or else I'll bring it back to get coated again.

Sewie 05-02-2006 05:23 PM

Probably won't need to PC it again. Just rattle can it with a flat black.
