Bansheeman6100 05-14-2008, 08:15 PM Well, i guess i'll sand it, then wipe it clean with the xylol. i got a gallon kit of herc, but im gonna go buy another kit. im gonna do the bumpers and grillguard for now. spaustin889 05-14-2008, 09:37 PM lemme know how it looks, thats the plan im going for. lemme know of any problems and how you like it?
