Starting to spoil my new baby (the truck) more than my actual baby, or my wife. Just some easy stuff so far:
Husky X-Act Contours
AVS Aeroskin
EGR Window Visors
2x10 Bed Divider
Lexerd screen protector (which I put an inch long gouge in when my thumb slipped while trying to smooth it out with the card)

Wanting to get front window tint and line-x lined up, as well as a retrox pro mx sooner or later

Still attempting to plastidip my emblems. And I do have a question for anyone with in-channel visors. My front set did not come with ANY adhesive tape, only the rears had tape.. I called EGR and the rep told me that's how they are supposed to be. And my searching online leads me to believe that may be the case, I'm just scared to death they are going to come flying out when I roll the window down. I just put them in this afternoon so they aren't fitting very well, hopefully they will settle in and won't give me any trouble

Ive been putting off the plastidip of my front and back ford emblems due to time constraints.

How many coats did you do? How much time did it take start to finish? Im thinking I need at least 4+ hours to mask, cut, paint, dry, 2nd coat, dry, 3rd coat, dry, ets.... How many coats are recommended?

Thanks.

They don't make 40-round clips? He is not the only one that carries clips and a rifle in the vehicle.

It's been awhile since I've been on here. Had a 2013 since my 2011 and just got a brand 2015. Transfered my wheels and tires from the 13 and put a 2 inch level kit. Waiting on my banks exhaust to get here next. I apologize I can't upload pictures. It's been so long since I've been on here so I forgot how. I am happy to be back driving my brand new 2015 though!

From what I know, at least 3 or 4 coats. The more coats the easier it is when you remove the paint.

It's not hard just time consuming. Mask off area, clean area with alcohol and let dry, lay down a coat around 50% coverage, let dry 20 - 25 minutes, then lay down next coat at 100% coverage. Repeat dry time and coat again. 3-4 coats should be good. Just like paint, hold can 6-8 inches from surface and spray with sweeping and overlapping motion. Lay down subsequent coats from different angles to get in all the nooks and crannies. Good luck!

I haven't used it yet but I got a SuperChips Flashpaq canned tuner for my '15. I won't mess with the tuning until my truck is out of warranty but I will use it to adjust my speedometer once I get larger tires. Plus it reads OBD2 codes should any arise.
