i used dupli-color 1200 deg w/ ceramic in flat black then a cut-in acrylic clear

 

time to bring this thread back to life

i painted the cowl today

 

looks real good man, i read through like 3 pages before i realized it started back in 2008... haha oh well... Its crazy how them small changes have made a big impact.. Nice Job!

 

Haha, I did the same thing!


Looks great though, I guess I missed it the first time around anyway so it's new to me! Gotta love DIY mods! Good work mate!

 

any pics of the light output of the fogs. I kinda want to do this but dont want to lose too much light from painting them

 

That looks AWESOME...so what paint was used for the headlights again? Also, when you seperate them...you just paint or you sand with 600 grit?

I run 6K HID's in mine...will that hurt the paint job?

Thanks..I really want to do the headlight thing..lol!!!! OH...and foglight thing....

 

I just did my headlights the other day. I used 600 grit but there is a how to thread in the how to section on how to do this exactly. Go check it out. But some guys didn't even sand it and turns out the same.

 

I used krylon fusion satin black but some use gloss. Its made for plastics and doesn't need any kind of prep work to stick. But just give it a good wipe down and go to town on it

 

i did the same thing but i did my ovals also i had someone that i know that has a shop do it though looks good i have the same truck haha same color but i got gts taillight covers too( how do I post pictures?)

 

Here ya go... marine2014's pic



...And for future ref.. after you upload pics to your album, if you open up the picture you would like, at the bottom you will see a link for the picture, and another wrapped in the [IMG ] tag.. either copy/paste the one with the [IMG] directly into the post, or copy/paste the picture link into the "Insert Image" on the message options tab (Yellow one with mountains).

 

thx yall
just ordered the brush guard and some other things

Should be okay to use HID's with the paint in there right??

 

What did you do to prep you exahust tip..

I want to paint mine black as well..

 

dont know about the HID's i have never had a set
i sprayed the pipes down with carb medic and let them dry
