well the exterior of the van needed a lil help so i went and got some cans of duplicolor truck bed coating :D and gave it a 2tone look, up top is stock gloss black, bottom is the duplicolor, shouldnt have no more scratched up paint on the bottom half now :D gave it some fresh silver pinstripes too also had a mopar STAGE ? badge made and put it on the back gate were the chrysler star used to be . i think for about a cost of $60 total it looks better now

I don't like it, I would have either done it all gloss or all flat black, both looks weird? :confused:

well the top of the vans paint was in good cond, it was the bottom that was all messed up so thats why i only did the bottom, i was gonna do it all in flatblack but im liking the 2 tone look its got going on :nod: and it looks flat back but its truck bed coat so it has that ruff textured look up close, its officially a battle wagon now :lol:

just gave it a quick sanding with a 320 grit , then wiped it down with some grease and wax remover, its duplicolor truck bedliner so that stuff adheres to anything so i wasnt to streesing the prep work, cause the ruff texture would hide any small imperfections anyway , needs some black srt4 rims then it will be good :)

Cool, I may be painting my new project in a similar fashion, still deciding on color though...

Looking good.

You can tell people the texture is to energise the boundary layer like the dimples on a golf ball :D

I think that would look pretty good with dog dish caps on.

I agree.

With no chrome and flat paint, a set of chrome dog dish center caps would jump out at you like the monster in a bad horror movie. Really make it catch the eye...

The Rampage is at Line X right now, the dude was soo trying to talk me into doing the whole truck instead of just the bed:D I may actually go back for some interrior spray but not on the bodywork thanks. That stuff is like Herpes, aint no going back once you have it;)

I like the fact you can apply it with a roller. That seems comical to me.

you can if you buy the bedliner in a quart size can, i bought the rattlecan bedliner, easier. although the roll on would prolly be best if it were actually for a truck bed,lol!
