Topic: ArmorThaned Cladding!

[Fowlhunter]

Hopefully attached are a few pics of my cladding after being ArmorThaned, This is pretty much like Line-X. I decided to do this after I was side swiped, the ladies insurance cut me a check and I had to replace one piece of cladding but it didn't match the rest so decided to do this. I'm only doing a few pieces of cladding at a time because it is quite costly, this will be an ongoing thread. Enjoy.

That looks nice!  Quite a bit darker than stock 02 cladding.

More pics. The rear bumper cover with the 7 pin trailer plug removed from the receiver and moved up to the bumper.  I also removed the piece of cladding from the right side of the receiver, now I have room for additional reverse lights! Also is a pic of the running boards, I've repaired them and had them sprayed as well.

Why don't pics always appear when they are added to a post?     Am I doing something wrong?

Speaking of mods, did you ever get the brackets for the over-the-bed panels basket done? Or is that a sore subject? I'm thinking that would be a good mod to enable me to carry more "stuff" back and forth to the farm. I never have enough room to carry everything I need to take.

Update, I was able to get the Cladding back on the front doors and the piece on the rear driver side door at Bratfest. I installed the passenger side rear door on Monday.

I also installed the Cladding on the fenders.

After seeing it at Bratfest, I think it looks great. Pretty rugged looking and I think it should last for quite a while. You figure they do truck beds which gets all kinds of crap thrown in them and they hold up pretty well.

I'm digging the looks of it

I like that textured look.  However, I would definitely take advantage of the chemical properties of the truck bed liner, whether it be spray or roll-on.  Turns out, you can apply some engine enamel, which comes in almost any color, which, when bonded with the bed liner, will further protect the applied surface from physical and elemental abuse, and look cool too.  The only thing I have left to ask is, should I do this to my truck?  I think yes only because i will probably never have to do it again, unlike the Krylon Fusion.

Thank you!

Holding up very well, actually better than I originally thought. This is a spray on process.

I was thinking of doing all the cladding (upper and lower) mirrors and possibly mirrors. From the pics it looks to be done using a spray gun or is that out of a can? How much did you use, and where can I find this wonderful stuff?

Jesus...sometimes i wonder why i post half the crap i do, lol. 

This summer we will be venturing to lowes, buying out their supply of truck bed liner, and hitting up all the cladding and textured surfaces with it.  My only hesitations are that i dont know if i want to do the textured flares. I want to get the pocket-style flares, for my OE ones are all scratched up, plus they look better. No sense in painting them if I'm not going to use them.  I was also hesitating on using the bed liner on my bumpers as well, versus just painting them black.  All kids of ideas are floating around and I would love some input.  Thanks!

I had this done at a local shop so I would say it's probably from a spray gun.
