Herculine it :-D That is what I am going to do to my Ugly mutha Soon as I get my hands on some POR-15. Hit it up with that then soak it in herculiner.

I have seen it at autozones around here. If you want a regular paint that is durable, VHT makes some awesome specialty paints (fabric, wheels, etc.)

i don't know if you've ever heard of LINE-X or if there is a dealer that can apply it near you... but the stuff is great! its sorta like a spray on truckbed liner... except much better. i'd check into it if i was you. i actually thought about doing it to my bumper... but just never got around to it and decided not too because it was sorta expensive.

Hurculiner would be a great long lasting finish for sure. I remember Snitty talking about someone painting the whole jeep in the stuff not that would be a fine paint job. heheehe tug

There is a Dodge truck covered in that stuff bumper to bumper. It looks pretty cool except it looks hard to keep clean.-al

depending on speed and distance the stuff is applied from as well as pressure, you can get a pretty smooth surface. that would make it a bit eaiser to clean. but hey it's an off road vehicle. it's not supposed to be clean :wink:

i'm shure a pressure washer would take care of that anyway.
