Nice touch especially the rearend, I did mine too a few months back, the wheel wells I did a low gloss black and the rearend flat black...Just makes it look a little better.

 

00daksport, im gonna stark callin you *spraycan* hahahhaha :P you loves paintin your pick up black hahaha, looks good all the same

 

Looks good mine looks 10x better since I did mine.

 

thanks 4.7 and i'll start using my spray gun one day. :b

ramguy didn't you take your bed off and undercoat everything? i wanna do this bad but will it last, and can 2 people do it?

 

The rear axle looks good.

I think your truck would look better if the wheels were gloss black, but that's just me.

 

I took my bed off by myself but I used our steel garage beam to hoist the bed up then I pulled my truck out of the way. 2 people can pick the bed up the hardest part is getting the bed over the bumper and the wheels. If you only have 1 other person I would take the bumper off along with the wheels that way you can just pick it up and walk back. I sanded as much as I could took about 5-6hrs(mine was bad) with wire brush,wire wheel,grinder and sand paper then I put on 4 coats of black rustoleum I think I used 5 cans. I think it should 2 or 3 years before it needs done again.


my driver side dont know why it was so bad

cool thanks for the pics man. mine ain't rusted yet so i should get it done. i used "gunk sealer" undercoating on my new bumper and its like a bedlner so im gonna use that.

you got the same wheels tho you gotta paint those drums. it was hard to take a picture but i painted those black too. i used the plastidip which has held up to the heat so far. i think it was thunder who melted his up the front.

 

yup. fronts need to be redone in the spring. from far away they look good but if you get up close its kinda ghetto.

 

I was going to to paint mine but I didnt have any high temp paint well I did but I only had sliver and little bit of orange lol
