Good things come to those who wait. It took long enough, but they sure did turn out great...

I've already had several items painted the color of the truck including the rear spoiler, rear license plate surround, front upper and lower valence, brush guard, etc.

What did you end up using to seal up your bolt holes? The neoprene washers that I have in there now are not compressing enough, so I think I'm just going to take them out and try to make a gasket around each opening on the rail using silicone RTV. What did you do to seal yours? I don't want ANY water in the headliner.

It's painted with a U-Tech auto body paint and then clear coated.

If you use your racks alot (I do, during ski season), I wouldn't go through the trouble of painting, since it'll get thrashed.

However, it does look good painted.
