Yup. Great stuff. Hasn't worn off anything I've painted. I did the running boards and rear bumper on The Beast 2 years ago and it still looks like new.This stuff?

I'll keep that in mind. It's one of the ones I was looking at as well as the Cerwin-Vega 10". They both have about the same reviews and price.

I'm thinking about buying a regular 2012 HD front bumper and painting the whole thing including the chrome parts unless I can get one that's paintable. I'm not crazy about the one it has. I'm also going to do a spray-in bedliner. Does anybody know which one is best? I'm not going to do a CM one because after a few years the red will be pink. I'm thinking a Line-X but not sure which one. It won't be hauling much if anything. The main reason is there's a spot on each side by the wheel wells where the sealer they applied bubbled up and the paint peeled there. It's worse than I thought it was, once I started peeling things up. Both sides have obviously been holding water and rusting behind the paint. It looks like I might get my insurance settlement soon for my medical and lost wages so I should have some cash to spend soon, hopefully. I sure hope so because this truck needs a few things. One other item is a new windshield since it has a pretty big crack on the passenger side. Plus I'm going to be fixing the 2 cracks in the dash as soon as I buy one of those plastic heat stapler tools. And I want a new air management system some day.

Not sure about your state but in FL your full coverage insurance will pay for a new windshield with no money out of pocket and no rise in your premiums... they look at it as a safety issue... might be worth checking out.

No full coverage.

There's 3 grades I believe. Plus there's uv protection option, color match option, etc. Also there other players in the game now.

I just want the one that looks the best. It doesn't have to stand up to concrete blocks since I'll probably never carry anything more than a load of hot chicks in a parade. I used to haul professional cheerleaders at the openings of our arena football teams on my bagger Harley so maybe I'll get lucky with the truck. Those were good times.

I haven't looked into sprayed-in bedliners in years. I'd imagine that, like most anything related, the prep and application is the key to a quality liner. The previous owner of my S10 had a friend at shop hook him up with a TOFF liner. I really liked it because it was more of a hard rubber and more grippy than a Line-X, which was more like a hard plastic that was slippery, especially when wet. Although, Line-X may now have other material options. Still, if the shop doesn't prep the surface well enough or spray it evenly, consistently or thick enough, there can be problems.

Cracked me up; it's been sitting on the back covered patio all Winter with a cover on it. I pulled the cover off today to wash it and my daughter wakes up and says "where'd you get the bike from?"

If you're gonna tape off stuff to paint, 3M is the best. I usually buy the yellow or green one. Yellow is a little cheaper.
