Be sure to check your 3rd brake light for water intrusion. Pinewood will replace under warranty. After I read the forum on leaking third Brake lights I was hand washing my roof and checked and I had a pool of water trapped, bugs, leafs, dirt etc. But this summer I will be nite shading mine providing IT doesn't leak again!!

I have a feeling mine has this issue. Just from looking at it, it seems as though water/condensation has made its way

looks good, post a pic of them on the truck. How many coats did you do?

I plan on doing mine this summer to. I did them on my last truck and they didn't hold up where I was always stepping, I did about 5 coats too. I had to touch up the drivers side in the same spot every few weeks. This time I will try 8-10 coats & see if it makes a difference. If I have to touch it up every few weeks like my last truck, so be it. It's worth it, they look better black than grey.

Damn now I want to do my wheels
The camo black has a duller finish to it than regular black.

I'll post a pic when it get the rest of the truck clean! Right now they are the only clean spot on the truck! Not sure how many coats I did, but I used 2 1/2 cans for both boards and let them dry between light coats, probably over 4-5 hours.

I did my chrome grille a while back, didn't feel like spending a ton of cash. I painted the Surround PTM, and dipped the inside.


I have since decided to buy a factory painted grill... but liked the way the 3 bar came out.
