I used something on my ridgecrest. Yeah can't remember. Something Fusion. It is in a raddle can at Walmart. A little under 5 bucks a can. I can look tomorrow if you want more info.

That looks sick! How does the paint stand up to use?

Not sure yet. It is still on the bench. But it seems pretty tuff.

ughlee52.......the paint you are talking about is Krylon Fusion. And yes.......that stiff is amazing. It sticks to almost anything.

to O.P., i would defiantly use the krylon fusion too.......2 or 3 coats should be more than enough to stand up sp some abuse.

Hey demodude, is that cage on your truck brake line or? I know the honcho bed just wondering about the rest cause it looks really good and the paint matches well if it is two different materials.
