    very nice. have the tail lights smoked, maybe some sand accents. It will look much better.
    I would chop the exhaust pipe as well

    I had my tail lights smoked.

    Got the Sequoia TRD Grille painted Flat Black and installed. Also, masked the fender flares for painting, which was more challenging than I thought it would be.

    Mounted my Power Tanks 10 lb aluminum Propane tank.... to the wrong side of the tailgate!!! DOH! I hadn't planned on leaving it mounted for daily driving but I was hacked when I realized it blocked my use of the bed step if it was on. Four more rivet nut holes on the right this weekend!!

    Ordered this. Four to five week wait which will hold me up doing the front fenders and bumper cover. Got the split resin bumper top and brace from Big Two Toyota since my full resin limited bumper won't work with the NFab.

    I debated between the Method Vex and the Black Rhino Arsenals. In the end after going back and forth a million times, I decided the Arsenals were just a tad too busy for my taste. The Prizmatic Powders Pale Brown turned out way better than I expected on the Methods. I also changed the fake bead screws out to black.

    Nice work on the liner. Did the kit have plenty of material? I have a 6.5 foot bed and I can’t tell if the one kit has enough of the liner solution

    When you sprayed, was it like clearcoat and floated away / onto everything else in your garage? Or was the material heavy enough to stay where you sprayed it?

    Looking to spray the underside of my 1966 Mustang

    I have a Vagabond Outdoors Nomad coming so it really won't be visible and I was worried the sand colored Raptor would show alot of dirt. I will also be doing storage on the inside and probably putting a carpet piece down on the exposed parts of the floor. This was more for underlying proectection than anything else. Originally I had thought about doing the whole truck in Raptor liner but decided I like the smooth, flat look better for the body.

    It did. I really only did one coat on the vertical surfaces and then two coats on the floor and the bottom of the end opposite the tailgate where wood and other stuff I'd haul would smash into it. You might want to buy one more quart for the 6.5' bed.

    It did really stay put for the most part. One weird thing was the fines got between the maked top of the bedsides and the cardboard so that when I ran my hand across the fenders it felt all bumpy. But it wiped right off. If you look close you can see the little bit of overspray that hit the cardboard. It is weird how it spits out, not paint like at all. There are some video's on Upol's website and on youtube too. It is Acetone cleanup, just like Cerakote, which I love. All my sprayers and tools look brand new due to the ability to clean them with Acetone. Funny thing about Cerakote, once it is fully cured you can get Acetone on it and it won't take the paint off.

    One big selling point for me was you can buy the 2k can if you ding up your liner and do touch ups without pulling the compressor out and going to a lot of trouble.
