Enjoying the weather

[Stangshcky12]

It was about 60*F here so I spent the day cleaning up the truck,got the salt off, put new tails on and took lots of pictures




I tried to take some with my GoPro but between my really shakey hands and low light they didnt come out as well as they should have

Looks nice! Did you buy the tails tinted or do them yourself? I wish it would've been that nice here. I really want to get my amps off the table and where they belong.

And did a new exhaust clip too

I bought a set of stock tails and tinted them myself along with a set of 4th gen tails for my dads '11 (last weekends project)

I used to have a set of tinted LED tails, I wasnt really all that happy with them and both of them ended up breaking

Did you use the spray on kit? Looks good. I've been thinking of doing mine.

 

[Stangshcky12]

Yup, I used VHT with spraymax 2k clear (and alot of wetsanding and polishing)

looks good on both trucks.

Nice! How do you get them that shiny, like what was the whole procedure? I had my friend do my third a looong time ago but it never came out glossy

 

[Stangshcky12]

I spray them a little on the heavy side with both VHT and the clear (I used duplicolor clear on the amber corners of the headlight and they came out really well too)
I put on alot of clear and wet sand the hell out of them
Her tails I had to start with 1500 cause I let it cure to long and 2000 wasnt cutting it
Then I went to 2000 and on these I finished with 2500 grit
I polished them with meguiars ultimate compound and a mothers powerball lol and finally by hand

Should look really good with a coat of wax on them

that 2K stuff......it gets HARD - but its the best rattle can clear.

And, I wouldn't wax it for a bit - that will not let it breathe.....or cure. give it at least 6 weeks.

 

[TexasRammer]

Ok thanks. Ill probably be doing this soon. Im sick of the all black then bright red lol

 

[quietpeen]

Tails look great

That was my plan!
I found something that said polish after 24 hrs and before a week
I did my dad after like 16 hours and then came out great, had to go to school so it was about 6 days and it wasnt fun

Just be ready to sand haha

 

[Stangshcky12]

Well didnt rain but the trucks already muddy lol

 

[Thor09]

Very cool, that looks alot better

 

[WhiteExpress]

Truck looks awesome!

 

[Stangshcky12]

Some more GoPro pictures from the ride home from school yesterday, a bit of change from the first set of pictures





It certainly was a fun ride home too

 

[Thor09]

That looks like what I drove in on I80 Friday. Lost my rear end sideways at 55 mph...just saved it. Just got her locked in 4wd and slowed down more before I saw 3 more trucks off the interstate and into the woods, nasty stuff
