im buying some 6 in lights off of e-bay, they are small, but they should be bright at 100 watts a peice.

I am also thinking about color matching the balck on the light bar to the color of my truck, but I dont know about paint over powdercoating.

let me know if anyone has any experiance.

ive heard if you just sand it down, it should make the new paint (prefferably automotive paint from any autoparts store) adhere to the metal. if you want to custom match it, then you MIGHT have to find a paint shop to do that for you, unless you can get ahold of that specific paint somewhere.

lol, i was thinking sand it to rough it up a bit, then primer and some pacific green matalic, then some clear coat,and do it myself with rattlecans.

that hard part is taking your time, but if you do, it turns out fine.

Sounds like a good plan

if you can get close to exact paint, or whatever color you want, then why not save your money, thats always the best way to go.
