Alot of work but well worth it!

I did a lot of work to my truck over the weekend new shocks, brakes, rotors, replaced hub, new wheels and tires. (I will get pics up asap) I wish I had took more before pics. I pressure washed everything first with the use of simple green. Then washed the frame and axles and everything down with brake cleaner. Then wire brushed it all and lightly sanded what I could.



I used VHT epoxy all weather spray paint on springs, frame, axles, and wheel well. On the brake calipers I used VHT gloss black caliper paint.





On the rearend I did pretty much the same thing but on my 5'' exhaust I never like the ugly brown pipe so I used VHT satin black caliper paint good for 550 degrees.



The end result turned out pretty good just as long as it will hold up and so far anything I have used VHT on has it still on there so I have no reason to think it wouldn't.
