So I gotta ask where'd you get the Herculiner? I can't find anything like that stuff anymore, Can tire doesn't carry gator guard anymore. By the way, it looks great.

cool
It looks great. I did the same thing plus the grill, bumpers, and side mirror backs. Make sure to use the UV coating or it WILL fade. I will be putting another coat plus the UV coat on this spring because I did not use the UV coat the first time and it has faded to lighter flat black.

Looks good. Have you thought about doing the bumpers also?

I was wondering what it would look like to go around the wheel wells like that .... looks good! Did you do anything special to mask it off?

This stuff is made by Duplicolor. Canadian Tire here still carries Gator Guard, but apparently this stuff is nicer.

Got mine from Napa, a jug I only used half of and some rollers etc for $70. The jug at CT was around $76 and it was $60 at Napa.

Just eye balled it for the most part.
Around the wells I loaded it up with wide painters tape and then marked with a tape measure 3" above the wheel well, then just played connect the dots with a marker then followed the line with a razor blade. Worked out well.

For the straight part, just press the tape down at one end and run over to the back of the truck and press the tape down. Everything turns out straight as an arrow.

Did you add the extra UV protectant, so that it won't fade as bad? I always wondered how it would look, going over the fenders. It looked good in my head but I wasn't sure till I saw yours. I have always liked the color of your rig, now it looks even better.:bigclap:

Cool, from what I have heard, you definately need it with the black. Where did you get the JDM sticker in you pick on the fender?

I'm not surprised...they drive exploders. Why wouldn't he use the same method he used to get it off his hands?

More, got to see it in the daylight today. Turned out ok I suppose. Missed a couple spots though. I'll have to do a 2nd coat.
