Whoot got my Sir Michaels roll pan from Justin today in the mail.....was wondering what you guys have been getting quoted/paying for paint on it and if you have been installing the rollpan and endcaps yourself?


I cant wait to toss it on


Jack

 

I got quoted $100 for the install/paint, but thats because its part of my $2500 rear end collision repair job.

 

I'm with HIM !!!

I LOVE INSURANCE MODS !!!

 

Lol


I was thinking of heading down to the ford dealership to see how much they would charge me to paint it, and I could install it myself....after I fit test it of coarse and make sure no adjustments need to be made, otherwise ill have to take it to a body shop and I don't wanna!

the only downer to the kit is the steel pan, if you looked at it you will notice how they dont finish welding the box for your plate on it. Its just tack welded on until you get someone to finish it and grind it down smooth....then you can prep for painting. I dont know if the dealership can handle that or not....

 

Ya know, after my last post I went and looked at it, that was the first thing I noticed. I think I can grind/sand those down myself....hmm

 

you need to finish the welding, not just grind down the tack welds....unless you like having the gap between the box and the pan. I think it would look like crapola though. Any good body shop can do it for you as a part of painting it all.

 

Bingo.

I was going to post that earlier. The Rollpan will need preping and also a test fit with the endcaps.

I would think paint and prep and test fitting done right (not just done) about $300.

I got totally ripped off when I got my pan done... I don't even want to say what I paid. And to top it off, the bottom bar of my tailgate and my pan are rubbing! I need to take it back to the body shop.

Sweet thanks for the tips....i'ma haveta look for a decent body shop now , havent seen a single good one near me yet.

Jack

 

it rubs in the middle right? You can...

A. take the tailgate off, put a towel over the bottom edge of the tailgate, then take a 2x4 and bang the edge downward. Use a thick towel but not so thick it takes power from the hit. (This is what dave@ ye old body shop did to his, was perfect)

B. You could shim the middle of the pan to try to compensate some. If its only minor rubbing it should work

 

Mine was $200 from From the Ford dealer including prep around the License plate were it was tack welded and painting of the pan and caps.. I did the install my self and my end caps do not fit correctly at all, had to do some modding to get them as good as I could.. Good Luck

Did you remember to take the bolt off thats under your stock caps? I forgot to do that on the pre-fit and it would almost fit but not really...take the bolt off and it slipped right in

 

hmm while im at it, how do you take the end caps off?


Are they just double sided tape holding em down?

once the bumper is off...just pull on them hard and they come off...they have some cheap plastic clips, good luck
