Haha thanks. I'm sure all the P players will be going "why are you painting them??" Haha, I'm happy for the incognito look with them though.Quote:

Yep, bit of black paint, bit of road grime and hopefully unless you go looking for them you won't really notice them.
You could put all those rods near a radiator, and bake it on a bit
It was 23 deg up here yesterday, I just left them out lying in the sun ;)
Should have got one of my mates to paint them over when they are at the moment. Check out the max and mins there :jawdrop:

Was there much work involved in fitting those braces mate? Thinking of doing the same thing. I won't be towing anything. But with camping gear, fully loaded up she will weigh a bit. I understand yours are bolt on ones. Then there is the weld on ones.
They are pretty easy to put in really. Just accessing the top bolts on the drivers side is a bit difficult but really only added 5 mins to the process. Basically it's springs out, bolt them in and put the springs back in. If you're a bit handy and have a trolley Jack and stands, it's straight forward. A cordless rattle gun makes light work of the rest of it.

The bars look good painted Rod. But that will come off in no time I reckon. Get some POR15 mate. Dear as poison but tough as nails. Oh and get a handfull of cheap paint brushes if you do. Because they're stuffed once you dip them in the POR15.
Your truck is coming along quite nicely too. I've been meaning to start up one of these thread about my own truck....
@ Thanks rocket. I'll be ordering some to be put in with the lift kit.
@ Mudski - you mentioned it to me the other day. Where to buy it??? Your usual paint places have it ?? The bloke whos doing my underbody uses it, but he also mentioned it is not UV stable and will discolor after a while - but will keep its strength and anti rust properties forever. He couldnt tell me where he gets it from as its bulk purchased for him.
