    Anyone use the spray bed liner?
    Interested to see what they look like. I’m thinking of doing mine so I don’t have to black them out again every couple months.

    I did mine with plastidip a few months ago and they hold up okay for a $10 paint job. Curious to see if anyone has done a DIY permanent paint job.

    abrade the crap out of it and then apply Bulldog adhesion promoter - stuff dries within 30 mins. Then apply your top coat.

    Rattle cans. I was able to get a good finish on my old Discovery 2. But, it was white with black flares. I’m trying to visualize how it would look black on black.
