Nice keep us posted on how it holds up... do you need to treat it with any cladding products or is it good to go and will not fade or streak?
One thing looks like you missed two bolts on the font by the grill.
Good work.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for the write up.
Peace.

P.S.
Did you have some minor nicks and scrapes to cover up? Did it cover them up completely or is it still noticeable?

That's it!! To hell with the paint booth-I'm closing it down and selling it. I like the contrasting bolts
Super VXer
dude, that is o-mazing
And I am with you vehigaz...it looks beyond good. I seriously thought it was a pro job. I was surprised that for a spray there was no streaking, running, or globs. Great job man.
And FTR, the contrasting bolts are 1337. Don't lose them!

Awesome!

Cool
Nice job! Like you, I strive for the deep black look on the cladding.
As noted in earlier posts, please keep us posted on how it holds up and takes to the various cleaning products...
oh, and the contrasting bolts look great.
VXer
Beautiful! I've always wanted to do that, but wasn't sure how. I'm doing it this weekend on my Ironman. I can't believe how great that looks.
By the way, what kind of paint did you use on the bolts? I'm not sure what BBQ paint is. I'd like to paint mine white.
Way to go!

I had one spot on the front on the slick part of the tag mount area.
That would be my fault for not preping it well enough.
I'm still very happy with the results, would do it again.
I'll keep you guys posted with any problems with it.
Here are two pics from last week when I did the painted on skid plate mod.
I was chicken to do it any higher. The hook is going back black.

ok, well it still looks good, and thats convinced me. I was going to go for a rhino-lining alternative, but this looks better even if it wont hide my gouges and scrapes from wheelin.

Anyone try this on the hood insert to match the cladding? I wonder if it might cover the minor nicks and chips the insert gets. Just curious for opinions on this from people who have messed with their insert.
VXer
Yeah I did the insert also, it turned out pretty good. Its harder to get an even coat on it because its not textured. I'll try to get some better pics....
