we used the less agressive 2 rock guards that our body shop stocks.

we then did a flat black, but then went over it with a semi gloss, to give it a little sheen

I painted my flares last weekend a flat black but I'm not sure if I want to put a clear coat on it unless there is a flat clear coat which I don't think they make lol but I dont want any shine I like the slight contrast. So it should be good with just the paint on there right? I did put 3 coats of primer and then 4 coats of flat black . I sure hope it's good that way if not looks like I may have to repaint it and do te semi gloss clear.


Anywho sweet looking truck I love it all blacked out like that I can't wait to see the times this baby puts up in the quarter mile haha

15.1 isnt far but a few tenths is a decent difference but yeah if u staged deep then may of ruined the possibility of running 15 flat or a very high 14. either way sick truck for sure. nice work!
