I got the same ramps from PA. They are great. Don't care for the stickers though... You might get tired of them over time and hopefully they don't peel the paint. Looks much better though! Great work on that paint job!

Looks great, what kind of paint and prep process?

Also how did you get the stickers to transfer?

Love my ramps, super strong and durable. Ive had the stickers on for quite sometime when the box was silver. Im not one of those guys that will put them all over my windows or tailgate. So thats the best spot i could think of without wasting then and I refuse to put stickers on my 700 lol. I agree with it looking better! thanks for the feedback man!

Paint was Kyrlon Gloss Black paint from walmart. As for Prep, just wiped it down with some chemical cleaner stuff my g/fs dad had, washed it then sprayed away. You cant really prep those boxes much more than that before you paint. The sticker transfer was super easy...heated them up with heat gun and then when it came to resticking my girlfriends dad had this spray adhesive stuff. Sprayed abit on the back of the stickers and then stuck them to the box. It's been -40 the past few days and my truck was washed yesterday, everything is still holding up. Right now is the real test lol
