bluejay if you want some help taking it off, ill show you whenever we meet up next

 

wrong on sooo many levels...

 

not really

 

Thanks Patrick, but I figured it out and painted it back when this was being discussed. It still looks good.

 

My cowling looks horrible and the rubber end pieces are cracking off, one is gone completely. Hail and Texas heat do wonders on that stuff.

 

Whatever company supplied those rubber parts needs to be put out of business.

 

That's about what my cowling looks like right now. May have to remove it and do the painting thing. Would like to hear from NCSU on how his is holding up.

 

It's still holding up well. I'll take photo's this weekend (truck is in dire need of a washing) so you can see what it looks like now. A little bit of paint has peeled off the rubber parts at the tips of the cowl.

Looks good as soon as it stops snowing and raining I'm doing mine

 

looking good, it will hold up for agood while. I do they same thing to mine every 6 months or so. easy and last really nicely in the fl heat.

 

Looks good.

I just cleaned mine with Simple Green cut 4:1 with a coarse hair/wire brush then let them air dry, after that i put on 3 coats of Fusion Satin Black and one coat of automotive clear. That was over a year and a half ago and they are still as black as the day i painted them. I did the bed rails and tailgate cap as well I doubt you will have any problems NCSU

 

sweet upgrade

 

Awesome awesome glad i used the search engine to find this i was outside looking at mine and wondered who has done this and how

 

Looks great! My 02 is getting pretty faded.. i need to paint it one day..

 

So much knowledge here...too bad more don't use search.

If you think it....somebody already did it and posted how....sometimes, many times and many ways.
