Forest green makes it look like an army car. I don’t like it. It’s all about the flat black, madmax badass look. ---

Would it be wise to do your engine bay with this when you remove the KA and prepping it for SR? Is it a good rust inhibitor? Also, I’m considering doing my interior with this stuff, I think I heard someone here say that they did theirs. I’m thinking of de-clothing the doors and filling in the cloth part with this stuff (unless what’s underneath the cloth already matches) And I’m gonna use this stuff on the EVIL glove compartment of DOOM :lol: That and the back, since it’s gray and not black like the rest of the car. One question thou… should I remove the panels I intend to paint, and paint them, or tape over stuff and paint inside the car? ---

yes degrease and paint the enginebay or it’ll look like mine did. I like rustcheck primer and a self etching for bare steel after it’s been ground smooth. Rockergaurd comes in beige or black at the normal suppliers but i belive can be tinted to the colour you want. That is if you wanna spend the money The car originally took 8 cans of trimclad to paint plug primer, i sandblasted the entire car before i painted…junkyard dog it was. ---

> [@Polak182](#): > > urgh, stupid hotmail sign in crap. me^^^^ If you will be doing body work on it, then rubberize it afterwards and it will hide all your mistakes. Flatblack will show the imperfections more. Like I said when I talked to you, call me and I’ll help you do it. ---

You Cant Paint over The Rubber, It Flexes Different than Paint and will cause the Paint to flake off and look like poop. You can get tinted Rubber paint in any color you want. Just contact Rhino Liner Pickup Truck Bed Liner and Order a 3.5kg can of it. ---
