    whole thing. If i had $2500 id do my whole truck line-x. But for now ill just stick with this.

    I did this myself about 6 months ago. I like the texture of yours better tho. I just followed the lines.

    Yes, because he used the body lines of the truck, and his color lends itself to it.

    i was considering doing my grille, but i think that bugs would be hard as hell to get off. is it for you? a dude with a speedway blue tacoma has a magnet gray grill and it looks awesome. might steal his idea.

    well the gallon can weighs maybe 10-15 pounds estimated holding it. i used about 2/3 of it doing 4 coats. and you gotta think how much of that evaporates when it cures. probably didnt make a difference.

    it was roll on duplicolor bed armor. im hoping the kevlar makes a big difference compared to the other roll on types. ill find out at the aug montana meet. hope i gave you some confidence to do it or saved you from ruining yours if you dont like it.

    i figured id try this before i drop 500 or however much itd cost for the pro stuff. satin over it huh....thanks for the tip. ill probably do it later.

    all in time my friend, all in time. just what i can afford for now.

    yeah i just put another coat on today to get rid of the blue spots. and i undercoated the rockers.


    i think that if i was going that far i would just get the whole thing done. and if this type happens to suck ass later on then full body rhino or line-x is the plan. but for now i love it.




    thanks everyone for all your opinions, good and bad.
