I wanna do my bumpers in that stuff buut I wanna see how it hold up first!! I am sure the weather would not affect it on my bumpers but they are plastic so I am curious about adhesion.

Precise1 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Heh, I like it... Now you have to do something about the weenie little tail pipe hanging way out like that. I recommend starting with headers and working back. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Looks nice man, only thing bad I have found with the duplicolor is that it will flake off easier than Herculiner. I used a combo of the spray and roll on duplicolor for my 88's interior. 2 cans of spray and 1 gallon of roll on covered the entire floor in the truck .

Precise1 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Wow, that looks like crap... Is it the truck, the picture or the photographer ? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLVOX Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I will let you know if it flakes or peels. I dont know about spraying it on plastic though. The cans i bought were 16.5 ounce cans and the were 7.99 in New Jersey. Also, There is this girl that i always see at the blockbuster in my town. She always just smiles and walks by. Well the first day i had the truck completed. She walks up and says, " Nice truck" and started asking me how i did it and stuff like that. And said she would like to do it to her j-heep. And of course i offered to help her So buy this stuff, spray it on your pathy, and the chicks will come!! :cool2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagwoodzz Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 So buy this stuff, spray it on your pathy, and the chicks will come!! That's even better than what I do. I park next to the entrance of the overflow parking lot. Very visible from the window where I work. Anytime a chick comes in from the parking lot I let every body know they are checking out the chic magnet. What's a little embellishment? Now everybodys in the habit of yelling out hey Dan another chic is checking out your truck! That code for hot chick walking by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMyPatty Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) That looks good KV, I was gonna do bedliner up the side a bit, with a pinstripe but ya beat me to it.

KILLVOX Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hey, could you describe to me what you did to fix that rust hole please?I have about 5 of em... With the rust holes that i had, i cut around the hole until i hit non rusted metal (1)Then istuffed the holefull of wire mesh (2)you can use chicken wire also. Then i mixed up some bondo enough to go past the wire mesh so the bondo has something to hold to. This is only the 2nd time i bondoed. its really easy. Wait a little while and sand the bondo smooth (3). Then hit it with some primer (4). When you use bondo u should try to get the 2 part mixture as close as you can. If you dont, it can come out rubbery. Good luck. Im sure there is others out there that can explain it better. But thats how i did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 You used 150 grit?! Damn. It's almost as if you were painting with bedliner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93PathfinderWA Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) looks good i was thinking about that but my friend has his whole truck done and i dont want to look like i am copying him. Edited July 13, 2006 by 93PathfinderWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMyPatty Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Sweet KV. Howd you get the wire mesh to stay in there though... What's it holding onto?... I've got alot of work to do before she gets bedlinered. And I'm gonna be buying and installing my lifts and wheels soon too.. ahhhh Here comes 100 hours of work....

KILLVOX Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Howd you get the wire mesh to stay in there though... What's it holding onto?... I didnt have a whole lot of air space in there anyway but i just bent another piece of mesh in half to use it as a prop. Once you get the bondo in there bleeding through the mesh and over the sides of the hole, its not going anywhere. Hey 93! Man, you fix up your pathy the way you want it. Thats what its all about.

GrimGreg Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I had similar holes in my rockers, I used the mesh the first time around, but hadn't eliminated all the rust and it rotted out around the mesh patch. This time I removed any trace of rust and welded in some new metal when I patched the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_C Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Looks good Killvox...I did the same to my truck a couple of months ago, with the same stuff and it turned out great. I've taken it off road a couple of times since it was completed, and it's gotten tree branches scraped all over it and the finish has held up wonderfully. Like you, I opted for 4 to 5 coats for strength. I know it's not as good as Herculiner, but it works. I have noticed only a couple of spots where it's flaked and peeled...but I have a can or two on reserve for touch up, so no problems. You did a good job. You can see my work in my signature. I did it on the hood as well to cut down on the glare from the roof top lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
