    One of mine is not as smooth. (Plastidip by design will have some texture to it.) What I found was that if I was too light on my coats, it would come out rougher. The other lesson was to make sure I mashed the spray can button all the way down. I realized I was being light on it once and it wasn't atomizing all the way. End result was a coarse finish.

    The joy of plastidip is that you can peel and redo very easily.

    Did you powder-coat the Avid Offroad light bar and side steps yourself or did you have them done somewhere? They look great, and I would like to have a similar result! :thumbsup:

    Also, how are your lift and suspension upgrades holding up now that they have been installed for a while and you have put some mileage on them?

    I had them done in matte black at a local metal shop and have been happy with the results. Some scratches from playing in some fields but they weren't deep. I still need to mount the lights...

    As for the lift, I've been happy with it. Still trying to get the couple hardware pieces to fix my mistake of installing the thin washer where the thick should have gone. The leafs are squeaky but who cares. Hauls great and rides great.

    Good luck on your own build!

    See above but in short, I love it. Looks and functions great. Think I have close to 50000 miles on the lift now.

    honestly, I've always been against too much black on the pyrite, but damn, that match scheme you got going is pretty dope. perfect amount of black to pyrite.

    Great looking truck. Where did you get the bed sticker? Figure out what happened to your shock?
