Will vader truck liner paint solution for the panel's work on all of the cladding??? I have a black truck and if I could do all of the cladding with that stuff and hav it look good.... It would be much cheaper than the alternative of bringing it to the boday shop and having it painted.

about midway down the post he talks about how he did his panels in black... looks nice, and I would like to do it on all of the cladding... looking for pro's and cons.

thanks

I plan on painting some of my cladding with the bed liner paint to give me a sweet contrast to the factory 02 grey. I will post pics when complete.

Here is a close up shot of the painted cargo panel.

Man that pic messes me up everytime I see it! The perspective is just right so that the "mini AV" looks like the real AV. I kept thinking.."that AV doesn't have painted panels.." :2:

I've never seen that pic before -- it is messed up! LOL :eek: :D
The angle of the pic makes the edge of the "real" Av look like the street curb, and the black panels look like the blacktop.

Nice demonstration of shifting perspective, though! (y)
 
OK, call me a dummy. I had to look at that pic 5 times before I realized it was actually the mini-Av on top of the panel. Great trick picture LordVader.
