    I wondered if I could find some vinyl graphics to accomplish that when I got my VX but it just wouldn't... well, you get what you pay for and the vinyl is cheap so I think it would look cheap. Need a true artist to do it right!

    Well, it's been about 7 weeks since I painted my cladding. I beautified my VX last night:



    I ironically had to apply Mother's Back To Black to make the coating pop again. It did start to grey out. When the coating is applied to steel it stays black - on plastic, it seems to be another story. The coating absorbs the Mother's though, so I will see how long the cladding stays black after being "treated".

    Thumbs up

    Lookin' good man...nothing like a squeaky clean VX to get the motivational juices flowing.
    I've been trying to muster the motivation to get after my hood insert project. I want to sand it down, make the hood scoop functional to vent under hood heat & re-attach it with exposed stainless cap screws. I'm planning to use Bulldog & the plasti-kote black bumper color.
    After seeing your pics, I went & dug out the rattle cans from my closet...hey, it's a start.
    Keep the shiny side up & good luck with getting your front axle back together.

    I think it looks pimpy. Anything to make an Ebony VX more black is cool.
