Default PTM Work & New Parts

Here is a pic of my new tonneau cover from tonno pro off eBay, got an awesome deal with the make an offer feature!!! Btw I recommend this tonno to anyone I likethe quality of it.

Also some pics of my personal PTM door handles just finished them and will install tomorrow with my new billet handles that will come in the mail. I'm by no means a painter but have been around it so don't judge haha.

Also I did my wiper cowl with dupli-color trim paint from advance and used spray clear but it didn't last a 2 months, Sooo I bought the krylon fusion and did this today also, I went over it quickly with red scuff pad then cleaned with mean green then sprayed, it dried in about 5-10 minutes.

So here are some pics and I will put more up tomorrow when I put my handles and door cups on so you can see finished results. I will be doing the mirrors next weekend probably.

Thanks guys! Yes wiper arms are getting painted also. I used nason base coat and xttreme clear coat. I already had the clear so it cost me about $40 to paint these.I have a kobalt paint gun that I use. I bought these extra sets of door handles and the door cups off craigslist for $60. The billet handles should arrive here today and I will post up more pics. Btw they are off eBay in California and they are custom made Cnc machined he has them on there for $120 + $20 shipping but I got them for $90 shipped with the make an offer feature.

Well guys got them all on today and on my last door we had a crazy storm and hail so I grabbed a quick pick zoomed in on my iPhone 4 so it's kinda blurry but I will put some pics up when it quits raining.

Btw received the handles in the mail and the manufacturer is grippinbillet.com I believe autoanything & stylintrucks carries this brand!
