    i used a 2k primer. cleaned it with thinner then 180 sanded the plastic. then hammered primer on it. let it dry and sanded it pretty flat with 180 then hammered another two layers on it. then wet sanded it for paint. after that it was slick as a babys ass

    thanks alot guys.

    Are you worried that the heating and cooling of the plastics will cause it to crack in the near future or do you think they will be safe?

    Looks bad ass! That's what I want to do, I would just like to know if you can do bags without losing the use of your bed? The only thing that doesn't flow to me is the steering wheel, looks out of place to me, either needs to blend in better or be billet. Just my $.02 tho...

    have you ever noticed that the dash never warps or cracks? its made out of good plastic and thick. hell the dash is out of a 94 that i found in the junk yard. and here in sc it gets hot in the summer. im not worried at all. that dash is built better than a plastic bumper and they hold paint
