Dupli-Color Engine Enamel Paint - I love this stuff!

I bought a can of low-gloss black last night and painted my exhaust system and front stainless-steel engine heat shield with it (the one with the H3 logo on it).  All I can say is this paint is awsome.  It goes on flawlessly, does not bunch up or drip, goes on with one coat, etc.  The spray can sprays on very evenly.  I put two or three coats on within ten minutes.  It was dry to the touch within an hour or so.  It looks factory.  I've never used a paint that went on and applied so easily and evenly.  I'll definitely be using this again.  Here is a link:

I choose this paint because it resists temperatures up to 500 degrees.  This morning I drove to work 45+ miles and the paint still looks new and factory.  I'm thinking about doing my entire rear axle and suspension with it tonight.

They have quite a few colors to choose from.  Luckily the Auto Zone near my house carries paint (which I found by accident yesterday)

Another paint I have used in the past is Krylon Fusion.  I used this to paint my plastic ferrings to my sport bike when I rebuilt it a few years back.  That stuff also goes on smooth and the end result looks factory.   The paint is even waxable and very sturdy; doesn't chip or crack.

It's called a skip plate and it's aluminium.....kids
 
 
 
 
 

Actually, GRANDPA, it's called a "SKID PLATE" for when the panel Skids across a surface such as rocks or whatever you may get propped up on when off-roading, hence the word "Skid"

I though I remember you had to MOVE rocks out of the way by hand before you would cross over them...

Yes, a razor-sharp rock triangle sticking up about 6 inches right in front of my tires.  Damn right I'm going to move it!

Bob; Don't give up on me yet my friend.  I have some unique ideas for the truck that I'm going to be doing, and I think you'll be surprisingly pleased once it's done.  Unfortunately, it won't be "complete" until after we go off-roading on the 4th.  There are some things I can't do off-roading with until we are done, but I HOPE all of my ideas work.  So far, it's starting to look really good, but nothing compared to some other's on here.  I just want to do some things nobody has done or thought of.  Anyway, you'll see in 3 weeks
