Default Running Boards

Well, my Stainless Steel Running boards are no longer.
So I ordered a set of Black stainless Steel 4" Oval Ones for under $200 shipped of Ebay

My originally ones where scratched so I tried to paint them, all was good when I did the lower half/Bottem but the top had issues as it grayed instead of being black. well I tried to recoat, and it got messed even more. In the end, No messy to fix, To hard to sand/Scrap off. and To expensive to Sand blast / repair step pads.

I also got my newer used Cap installed, Needs New pistons, Weather striping and Brake Light, But for $200 in black not bad.

I literally ordered them a half hour before I posted, lol.

I like the style of the ones I had more, But these where the cheapest on Ebay, and in Black. I paid about the same price for both sets.

Ill post a pic of my old ones to get you guys thru untill the new ones arrive.
These are from when I installed my old ones, last summer.

Before I scratched them to crap. So I tried to paint them, the bottem/sides went great came out amazing. But when I did the top it grayed for some reason. I tried to recoat and it messed them right up.
