Textured look
I want a flat black textured look to my truck. A friend did his entire truck with Herculiner but that was too rough for me. I tested 3M undercoating on some spare sheet metal and I really like that look. My concern is longevity and truck value. Opinions on this please.

Re: Textured look
For longevity and truck value... just a good paint job in a factory color would prolly be the best.
I've seen a few 4x4 cats that have done the Herculiner/Rhinoliner/Line-X to the exterior of trucks... looks a little silly, and adds weight to the vehicle. Unless it's some sort of hardcore trail rig... Gary

Re: Textured look
It'd probably be best to just flat black with with some rattle cans IMHO.

I've heard from a lot of paint & body guys that you can not paint over JDBB. And it would have to be completely stripped off if you decide to paint later. You might check into Hot Rod Flatz also. |

Re: Textured look
Have you heard of plasti dipping an entire car/ truck? There is a website on it. I think it's called dipyourcar.com or something like that. Good thing is it can be undone.
