    Grass is always greener on the other side. Well, except for in Arizona. Its all desert, so you don't have grass. I guess ours is greener then. Nevermind.




    I still enjoyed my time out there. A fun state to play in.

    Hey now they spray it on nice and green once a year. You can't forget the golf courses either, those things are plush.

    The white plasti-dip isn't really as bright of a white as the truck. On the bright side, I found out that my local Lowes sells plasti-dip :D Time for some endless fun. Bought a can of white and black while I was there today.

    Trying to think of something to do next with it?

    Spray it on your fender flares, then spray them with the spray paint I pictured above. Then you will have a white as bright as your truck, as pictured above.
    Also there was this link posted above:
    http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...white-out.html


    If your too afraid to do that then just spray a piece of plastic and compare it to your paint.

    If wally world doesn't have it, pick up a can of Krylon plastic paint from there and test that. Make sure its only Gloss white.


    Is this what you looked for at Lowes?

    Yeah they must have changed the design from when that guy bought it, also that was a picture of gray paint.


    I must ask, if your color matching your eyelids with that paint, why shouldn't you use it on the fender flares?
    That paint will match closer than gloss white.

    Wait! I know why. Awhile back when I was looking for color matched paint to paint my chrome grille white, I read a ton of reviews saying that it was more of a yellowish color.
    I just remembered that and hope it's not like that. :(

    Will be painting/installing them tomorrow!
