Ldub Bra Tribute

[Bimati]

After contemplating a bedliner/undercoating type spray on bra to cover 102K worth of 80mph rock chips, I finally did it last night.

Thanks to the inspiration of Ldub and his bad-arse ride, here it is.



The bedliner looks and feels great, however, to be honest, I think I'm changing to a charcoal pinstripe. I don't want to start wearing a feathered, wide brim cap and havin' my peeps call me Mack Daddy.

Anyway...thought I'd share. Thanks, Ldub.

looks good.

i agree, with switching over to a dark grey or even black edge. the red stripe reminded me of the 60's batmobile (nothing wrong with that, though) or an ode to the grille of the vw gti.

nice job, though.

Bimmr...

That looks awfully decent I must say...very much liking the line you used.

Also, I like the "Batmobile tribute" look...Mack Daddy Bim...

In the process, I also set a new standard for ghetto tools in the Bim garage...I have created one of the most accurate and complex measuring tools ever created. Patent pending........um, yep, it's a dime pencil and a paperclip.



Me thinks I'll store it in my batbelt.

After looking some more, I noticed that your finish appears to be less "sandpaperish" than mine...did you use Plasti-kote ?, & if so, how far away were you holding the can ?
That looks to be a possible option for refinishing the insert.

Ldub:

I had just purchased a spray can of Dupli-Color Truck Bed Coating before I got your PM....it's nice and rubbery and "smooth" with the orange peel/badonkadonk texture to it. I would recommend it. Sprayed 6-8 inches from surface.

I like the coating/texture well enough that I am going to do the inner wheel wells with it too.

I remember running my hand over your bra (insert joke here), and I actually thought you had used that anti skid marine stuff...

After years of sporting the "Zorro-look" of the front O.E.M. bra on my VX...

I second that opinion...lol.

Wow. That looks really nice and professional. I didn't get that you did it yourself till the later post. Now someone with an ebony needs to do it so I can see how it looks black on black. And my bf was saying even before I read someone else saying it, that it sounds like a possible coating for the hood insert.

Well, I got a package in the mail and changed it up a bit (went from red pinstripe to charcoal pinstripe)....
