The textured part is rolled on with a special roller that they give you with the product. The smooth can be applied with any roller.

Both can be sprayed if you have the right gun.

Can Durabakâ„¢ be sprayed?
Yes, with most conventional spray equipment but it requires a large tip (1/4") and should be thinned with Xylene approximately 10%.

hahahah....

No wheels on it anymore. Couldn't bring myself to actually run the dark rims. Now they are getting powdercoated.

If I had the time, it could be driving in a week. Prolly more like 2 to 3 now. Still have a bit of wiring to do and lots of adjustments.

Also don't have any money for exhaust yet. The wife's trans set me back 650 bucks.

Finished up the front wheel wells...just some edge molding. It was put on then the Durabak was still tacky and the molding itself had glue in it. So it should stay.

Front bumper primed.

Tim where did you get that molding on your fenders? I need some for my front also. Did you buy the basic stuff that every parts stores carry? Pat found some really nice stuff for me, but you need to buy a minimum of 500' or 1000', something like that.

MuddyPaws · 02-28-2008, 12:24 AM

Yea, I got the stuff from Advance Auto. Just basic truck door trim. i would like to find something NICE for the rear....no luck yet.
