Going to paint the fenderwells!!

ParadoX · 07-18-2008, 08:01 PM

Hoping to get a chance this weekend!

but i need to kno what to do it with! i kno just black spray paint probably wont cut it! or will it?

Or is there something specific i should use?

If anyone could lead me in the right direction i would appreciate it!

I went to AutoZone and bought rubberized undercoating and used that. It's inexpensive, tough and it looks good.

gmctrucks · 07-19-2008, 03:30 AM

That's a good idea I second it.

Find some do it yourself bed liner stuff like herculiner at an auto parts store and put that stuff on.

why does your truck have fender wells? mine never came with that...

ghstface38 · 07-19-2008, 02:16 PM

I painted the metal part that's inside the fenderwells.

All the black you see used to be white.

See?

F4MOU$ · 07-19-2008, 02:18 PM

AHHH I see, do you have any farter away shots rather then close ups. it looks pretty good man, just cant tell how good from that close, ya know?

ghstface38 · 07-19-2008, 02:26 PM

Yea, I'll post a few although I don't know if I have a straight on side shot.

In some of the pictures I have a bull bar and a bike rack. I've since removed both and only install the rack when I ride.

F4MOU$ · 07-19-2008, 02:29 PM

WOW, that looks much better then it originally did, you need a black tool box, guy buy my house has a white ext cab LTZ with the 20's n such, and it looks awesome on his truck. definatly black tool box and itd look killer!

whyd you take off the bull bar?

Agreed and I like it better without the bull bar

ghstface38 · 07-19-2008, 09:18 PM

I just like it better without the bullbar, less is more ya know?

I'd like a black tool box, I wonder how I could coat mine?

ilmudrunner · 07-19-2008, 10:33 PM

take it to get powdercoated or scuff it up and spray it with bedliner or spray paint. powdercoating would be the best route if you want a durable finish that you don't have to touch up every couple weeks. the only problem with powdercoating is that it's expensive. depending on the box you have, it might be better to sell the polished one and buy a black one.

ghstface38 · 07-19-2008, 11:05 PM

It's a UWS tool-box.

I bought it for $200.00. I'm not sure if I could get that out of it though, it's been rode hard and put up wet!

F4MOU$ · 07-20-2008, 01:15 PM

get it line-xed or powdercoated, thatd prolly be around 200 and a life long finish. definatly itd be better then silver

ilmudrunner · 07-20-2008, 01:34 PM

what he said ^. a professional bedliner like line-x or powdercoat are probably about the same for durability. it just depends what kind of finish you want. if you want glossy black, powdercoat it. if you want a textured black, go bedliner. just make sure they add UV protector if you get it bedlinered. otherwise it will fade and turn grey very quickly.

i went to autozone tonight and got the paint to do the fenderwells, as well as paint to do the bowtie! ill have pics up on saturday! well depending on if the billet comes on time!
