Default Finally put my new bed stripes on

Well, it finally cracked 50 degrees today, so I jumped on getting the stripes on...
let me know what you think.



After the roads clear off a little and I can give it a good bath, I will get better pictures. I am also going to be painting the wheels again... I haven't decided on black (gloss) or silver...

Also need a couple new lugs. My impact spun the caps off a couple.

That looks really good bro! Question, in your pic it looks like you have them painted a kind of charcoal grey? If so, is that the plastic paint stuff I have heard about? I was thinking about doing that to mine if it wasn't too pricey.

Looks awsome Eric, I think you should paint them black and get the black lug nuts while you're at it. That would compliment the bedstripe really well IMO. Italiandominator..it looks charcoal grey but it isn't Plastidip thats all I know

I get my stripes from KLINGS. (Klingsdesigns.com if he isn't around on the forum.)

Those wheels are painted with duplicolors wheel paint. Plastic dip is a much more flat black... I will post pictures later showing what I mean.

This is a good shot of how plasti-dip looks.
