• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Bed Liner Project Continues Stage One and Two Complete

To be pictures are worth a thousand words, so I am going to post a lot of picture and use very little words:

Couple of lessons:

1. Make sure if tape the reflectors that you use a razor to seperate the bed liner from the tape.
2. Don't stick your finger in the wet bed liner! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a
3. Don't start this project outside if there is rain in the forecast!
4. Put all bolts and small parts in a zip lock for safe keeping.

OK Stage One, taking off the Silver Panels:

So that is all the panels, I think. The panels have to dry overnight and tomorrow I will post after stage 3, putting her back together.

reminds me of h d wrinkle black. does the liner spray on smooth, then texture as it dries ? it looks very uniform. could you post a REALLY tight close- up ?:thumbup:

No it does not go on smooth, the texture is immediate. It take nice even strokes to make it look right. Here is a close up picture:

Bytemi....this thread is like watching paint dry:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: oh crap wait a minute we are watching paint dry. The texture you are getting is awesome and the flat black is cool. I think this is a great idea to coat these panels. And yes cant wait to see it all back in one piece. Good job:bowdown::bowdown:

Tell your BF to look at my post under ShopTalk for step by step instructions, I think it would look great on a Harley.
 
Thanks Bob you are always so supportive!!! I am not sure I would have tried this without your encouragement. But I am thrilled with the results. Now I just have to figure out how to put it all back together. :)
 
It looks awesome !!!! :firstplace: Your doing a great job on it, and it looks way better than I thought it would. :thumbup:
