Finally sprayed my truck and bumpers

[fordman49450]

Ok, I finally got a chance to spray the bottom section of my truck and fender flares with the durabak coating I purchased. I also sprayed the custom fabricated bumpers as well. This is some good stuff. I will post the pics of the bumpers later because right now they are still curing (upside down) Let me know what you think. The first pic is before the spraying, the 2nd 3rd and the 4th are after I sprayed the truck.

Looks good, man. My '94's the same color, same wheels; also an SC. Good job on it!

Nice job, how long did it take you?

Did you end up doing the inside of the wheel wells (top) ?

looks like you did the leaf springs as well or is that just the way the pic is?

the prep work took the longest. I wanted to remove the fender flares but was told that the studs break off, so I tried one and it broke off. well then I taped all around it the best I could and then used a roll of painters 18" paper mask and masked off the rest of the truck. then I scuffed up the paint and flares with a red scotch brite pad looking thing by 3M. I had to scuff and primer the bare metal bumpers though. As far as spraying it, it took maybe an hour to do the truck and both bumpers, also I did the skid plate and winch plate cover. I did 2 coats on each item. when I removed the tape and paper from the truck, there were a few spots where I didnt get the tape close enough to the fender flare, so I took a razor blade and removed it. It turned out great.

On the springs and underneath, I acutally undercoated the entire right side and then realized I would get some overspray from the coating so I waited to do the left side. Now I will undercoat the left side and touch up the right side where the overspray was. It turned out very nice.

It did turn out nice.

I was told that alot of that stuff (bottom parts, fender flares, etc) on the body was some kind of plasic. All you really had to worry about was the bottom of the doors.

On my 2008 Ranger the bumpers are mostly plasic.

 

[fordman49450]

yeah, they were plastic, but they were scuffed up in places, and had some imperfections, so this stuff made them look like new again.
