Yeah, really gotta do this. Your van is sick.

Soooo, engine block paint? BBQ pit paint? Krylon enamel? Other hard use enamel? What's the best? I expect to re-coat often with the heavy use. Same goes for my grill and bumpers.

Thanks! SO right back at you (really)...I like the cheap BBQ paint or whatever flat black that's on sale...I've had to re-paint any trip gravel is involved even if it has been just a bit...still, flat black is cheap..

Wish I had a better picture, but today I got started on my "Chop up the old Grandpa fiberglass running boards and Dremel Tool them down to make decent looking fender flares" project. Gonna have to paint these too.

Here's what I'm starting with...

Though I bought my steps already black... I used rattle can truck bed liner (Rustoleum brand?) on my rockers, rear bumper, grille, etc. It seems pretty durable and since it is textured, scratches and chips aren't very noticeable. The texture makes blending in touch-ups an easy task too.

I think it's doable.. but to make them look good Greg will need to learn the fine art of fiberglass.. the ends are open and will look wonky, but I think a little fiberglass structure, some bondo, and a bunch of work and they'll look great.

Finished up my work with the hack saw, Dremel tool and sandpaper today. They're ready for priming and painting. They won't go all the way down the wheel well like Bushwackers (not in the mood to learn fiberglassing today), but they will go down to the very bottom bend in the body.

Cost so far: $0.64 for sandpaper.
