Added some color

Did this a month ago, talked about using herculiner before but decided not to. Used a new paint by rustoleum called "hammered" If it last a couple years I'll be happy.
It looks black in the pic but is actually a dark grey metalic.

Yes, and less money also.. under 11 dollars a quart at Lowe's. I used just less than a quart. It has a nice rippled finish to it, looks thick.

Looks good! I need to do something on my right rear quater panel. It's getting all chipped up from rocks, sand and road debris.

Have you considered some mud flaps Scott? I've got the el cheapo plastic ones and they make a world of difference.

The truck looks great Bill. Let us know how it holds up.

I know flares aren't for everyone, but I will tell you that with wide tires, the do more to help than the flaps I had before. Even helps with the rocks flying back to the boat.
