What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Make sure you post pics because I was just thinking this early today.

 

No different than the badges or wheels or grill or anything else. Mask off area you don't want to derp with paper/painter's tape. Spray multiple light coats, as many as you need, don't try to coat it all at once or it will run, the more coats the more durable, give it enough time to dry between coats and let it bake for a few days at least in the sun before blasting it with a washer, etc. Plenty of videos on youtube.

 

Did my badges, and chrome on grille, but removing tape on such a large area without pulling the dip off may be a problem for me. Will post pics later.

 

Shouldn't be any different, trust my man. Its a recessed area, just tape off that line and spray away, I would only tape along the tailgate line, then tape paper all around the bumper, upper tailgate, lights etc. to avoid overspray, should still peel clean like your badges, etc.

 

Shoots, gonna buy more dip. Will post pics on Saturday.

 

Can you take it through a car wash without it being scuffed?

 

For about 50$ you can have it vinyl wrapped like I did and it'll be more durable

 

Speedo. I don't think they have a power programmer for a 3rd Gen.

 

Will do!

 

Yep

 

I found a decent head unit for like 350. Can u buy those harnesses to use back up cam and other stuff?

 

I can't stand the factory head unit, have you installed it? Does it handle all the little details such as Fuel Economy and things like that.

 

Thank you!

 

I cant believe you haven't ran out of things to do to your truck! Good work!

 

I thought about doing this. I think it looks good. I ultimately just went with the matte black letter inserts. I think it would look cool if you had the letters cut out of the black. So the body color showed just at the letters. Anybody done/seen that? I'd like to see how it looks.

 

I work at a place called Talon LPE, an Environmental Consultant company as an Environmental Scientist, my office is near Fort Fun, although I am typically driving around Eastern Co. I also love Redfeather, I just moved up there from Denver. Did that commute for too long.

 

That looks great @honey . I'm going to Photoshop one of these infernos to see what it would look like with the backplate grey as well.

 

just posted some pix

 

Not mine, but this photo was floating around here a while back.

 

Dude, that is one beautiful truck! Great job on your build!
