Default Latest additions to my monster

Just repaired the slight cancer on the bottom of both doors and then Herculined them as well as the plastic on the front and rear bumpers,the steps and even did inside the wheel wells.

Here's some pics and i'll add more after I do the bed.

Also added a Skull tail light on the front bumper tied into my running lights.It came from a buddy's Harley.And a rear license plate frame with 2 Shulls which eyes light up also with running lights. Now don't laugh,im almost 40 but my sons are only 8 & 9 and I did it for them.They love it.

Looks great! I was considering having the same thing done just on the metal, because both of my bottom lips are rusting. Figured I could clean them up, and i could roll them with bedliner myself instead of paying how much to have the doors blended with paint haha.. since the rest is all scratched up. I will probably tackle mine this summer when I get the time.

Looks good, in order to keep it from fading, my advice would be to apply a UV protectant top coat to what you herculined (herculiner doesn't have it pre-mixed into the coating itself). I believe Duplicolor makes a top coat UV protectant for this purpose.

Did a quick google search and aparently Herculiner has started making its own UV top coat:

Hope this helps

How much did it cost for you to do this? I've been thinking bout doing it...how long did it take?

You said you did it yourself? what did you use?

I'm really excited to do this because I've been looking to make a permanent fix to my rock chips and prevent future rust. How far down and up did you coat it?
