How long did it take for you to sand down your pod before you painted it?

 

I didn't sand mine down. I just painted it and it turned out OK.

 

Awesome man thanks for the input, I just started sanding mine tonight. So tomorrow when Im done sanding, priming, and painting I will post some new pics. Hey I noticed you have feet on your sub box. I have a box just like yours, and I bought some feet for it tonight. Did you use a seat lift? Also did your box come that color or did you add that yourself?

 

30 minutes

 

You don't need to sand it to make the paint stick. Get a good can of plastic primer from an auto paint store, and clean it(the pod not the primer can ) real good with laquer thinner then paint away. If you follow these instructions from a body guy in the business for 25 years(not me, friend, body work ) your painted edge pod will last longer than your dash, providing proper care.

 

Like always I appreciate the quick responses guys!!

 

No seat lift required. I had to pay extra for the color match carpet.

 

 

About 20 minutes

 

Do you know what color that is?

 

Don't know about his, but mine is Dupont Vinyl 3Q4 (Color: Warm Steel )

 

I used the same combo as FX4...sanded down with 120,220,1500 wett (dry)....then used rustoleum auto primer.....then duplicolor auto spray silver metallic...then duplicolor auto spray charcoal gray metallic....turned out great...will take some pictures tomorrow...almost an exact match to the ford factory silver...im getting my jl 500/1 installed tomorrow so I will definately take some pictures.

 

I tried to reply to your private message to me about the edge making your truck feel like a sportscar. But your mail box is full, you cannot receive private e-mail messages, until you clean it out.

 

Cleaning it out now..send away!!

 

I have to take a look later. Its an interior paint and clear coated. Its off the shelf paint can. The picture doesnt do it justice.
