    You can’t! For the badges, just use some painters tape and mask off a 2” area around them. Overspray peels/rubs off easily. Biggest tip I can give you is pre-heat the cans in hot water and practice getting a wet spray to avoid orange peel/texture. Use a piece of card board - https://youtu.be/syJPPKsRWnc

    Fender flares on mine took about 10 coats but again, with plasti dip if you don’t like it, peel it off. I’ll be vinyl wrapping the flares next time as after a year I do have some rips/scratches in the plastidip from normal wear and tear.

    Whatcha got? These things aren't that wide. I have a card slot case on a cell phone, that's about as wide as they get. But you could clip a holster to the outside, like one of these. But that would be jutting out pretty far on your right leg.

    Yeah I was figuring I’d have to just use that storage bin as clipping point for a holster, but as you said, it would stick out pretty far then. I’m trying to find a storage solution for a Ruger ec9s that still allows easy access without drilling into my brand new truck.
