    I hand wash my truck so how does the dip hold up to a brush?

    Look at build!

    Sprayed it with the included gun and a 5 gallon pancake compressor! Once prep is done its only a matter of 5-10 minute spray time

    For the plastic pieces I'm using Rustoleum Ultra Primer/adhesion promoter and flat black paint.

    For the fabric and vinyl I'm using Duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye

    Oh yeah I remember your thread/post before... reminded by your pedals :eek:

    Holy hell that must have been a serious PITA to mask off and prep.

    Kudos man, that's awesome

    With the interior of my truck torn apart I thought it would be a good idea to finally fix my driver's side-driver's window switch.

    Took the master assembly apart and cleaned all the contacts. It was all totally black in there. Now my driver's side window goes up with ease... versus having to find the "sweet spot" in the switch.

    I did remember to pull them :D

    Thanks man, I'm really happy with it! And prep wasn't to bad.. Sanding took the longest and taping was maybe 10-15 mins... Not much to tape off when there's no interior whatso ever haha & this stuff sprays pretty much wherever you point it, not much over spray at all
