mrbigtanker Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 My seats in the truck and i painted the bare metal for now until painting of the truck is done.Also cleaned up the engine bay a little more. 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 So, how hot does your engine bay get with bed liner in there? I asked my sprayer if he would do my engine bay, and he responded with " its not a good idea, as it gets very hot easily" Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well i have news for you it does not.My engine does not run any hotter and the engine bay is not hotter.I shot it myself with herculiner from pepeboys and i bought a 20.00 undercoating gun to spray it.Do i like yes but with were im going with this truck i will probably end up painting in there but we will see.I can say one thing prep is easy its cheap and it bonds well and covers a lot of imperfections to.

mrbigtanker Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well i bought the headlights and i got matching fog lights,i think it will look pretty cool.Also bought 2 yards of the same micro suede on my seats to match kick panels and door panels.I got the kick panels done but i dont know i am going to do the stitching on the panels,and i think there will be material left then i will do the head liner.Other then that waiting for the gauge plates to come back from pin striper and i dont know what is next from here,maybe just get it ready for paint,i got enough money in this truck already.NOT..
