Just wanted to share a little project I did to spruce up the wheel wells liners in my terminator.
I used rustoleum's undercoating product and it turned out great! the undercoating costs $4 bucks a can and i used three cans to put three coats on each liner. i originally tried the 'professional grade' version of this which sells for $8 a can and was not impressed. the can barely did one coat on one liner and there was no discernible difference in the finish quality between the two. my total bill including brake cleaner and new trim rivets from autozone for reattaching them was less than $20. here are some pics:
Before:
Supplies:
i used brake cleaner to get them super clean before painting
one coat - still pretty smooth. you can stop here if you like this look. i want it to be textured and the more coats you do, the more texture that builds.
second coat, still wet
third coat, my desired level of texture
all dry, not as glossy
