finished my roof rack finally

gdddup · Jul 13, 2011

i took my roof rack off a while ago. thinking that i like the truck without it but like with everything else it got old on me.and being tight on cash wasnt helping me pick up a esky rack. so i decided to change up the look of the stock one by painted the feet and mirror polished the rails.

Wow... Look awesome! Might convince me on chroming the rails on our stock one and then painting the feet black! :hmm:

gdddup · Jul 13, 2011

thanks fellas
for the rails i used paint stripper and a scraper to remove all the old black paint. thne sanded with 180 220. followed by wetsandin with 400, 600, 800, 1000 grit. then pulled out my buffer and some 3m compound and went to town untill i reached the shine i wanted.
the feet were prettey simple sand with 180 grit. then primer an filler primer. then spary body color n clear.
just a quick write up for now

way to go bro thats tight and unique never seen that done you might consider putting some clear over them to lock in the shine, cause is just a matter of time before the shine goes away. j.m.o.

Thanks yea I got some sealer on there for now. I wanna get some zoopseal. The clear coat will dull the shine.
