Oahu pelfreybilt group buy is now closed

Mike...brackets shipping today for the LED bar... Finally!!

 

Most of that is just crawling over one single rock. Only really takes one good drag to mess it up. I was going to powder coat too the other day but just easier for me to rattle can it (which I am doing right now)

 

$3.99 repaint...can't beat that

 

i'd still powdercoat over spray painting. only thing stronger is line-x and its not avail here.

the salt air here will eat the steel fast

 

line x is what I had on it originally…drag over anything it peels off like plasti dip….I ripped it all off last Sat and rattle canned it a min ago…waste of $$$ for one week on my truck

 

I have to agree..

 

you probably wheel your truck harder than most of us will need to.

 

My skids have a few bad gouges and dents, but it hasn't peeled off that badly.
Sunset gives a good sandblast, zinc rich primer, then powdercoat and bake cure.

This has been smashed in good enough to bend 3/16 steel, and hasn't peeled off.

 

heres the crinkle black over the 4wd forward driveshaft cover located on the transmission cross-member to the left of the transfercase.



I had it done but because of the modification I had to make on my support, it doesn't fit anymore.

 

I may be interested in satin black for my bumper and IFS skid.

 

My question probably comes down to color matching.. The crinkle looks great, but for the front bumper that you may want to touch up (at some point). How do you rattle can and touch up??

That's what I'm looking for....

 

I guess the closest way would be to spray semi-gloss onto a sponge and dab.

I have sprayed a small section of my bumper now, and you probably haven't noticed it.


and Black will be cheaper than any of the other colors offered.

 

I really don't.
All we have here is flat land and mud. I just happened to crawl over a pipe and it touched and dragged a bit. In any situation though rocks, tree it could scratch it up. I mean that is what they are made for. Powder coating a skid IMO is like give a truck a candy paint job then running it through tight trails and getting pin stripping and scratches.
About to post a pic of about where I scratched my skid if I can find one.

 

Is your bumper crinkle or black?

 

This is about where it happened. Was crawling over some cement pipe. But it could be done over rock, trees etc.


All I am saying is why spend so much money covering something meant to be destroyed lol
Cheaper to fix in the long run to rattle can it.
But everyone has their own terrain and driving style.
Just sharing mine.

 

its textured black.

the crinkle is a recent addition.

 

The textured black looks kinda like the rustoleum hammer finish..

 

yeah, they are pretty close.

 

Holy hell that's gonna be a big order

If you guys need an extra truck to pick everything up let me know. My scheduel is usually pretty flexible lol

The krinkle is badass! But I think Mike said it didn't hold up as well as he had hoped?

 

you know what's crazy about that....I just got back from Hilo and they have a Line-x shop up there!
