Yeah, I had a spare bottle left over so I hooked it up to the compressor and shot it. It's super easy to use and no matter how you spray it the texture remains consistent and even. I'm a fan.

Looks really good man! I looked online there website and your right it would cost me just about $539 with the military discount. I'm defiantly putting some cash aside for these. I got a buddy who can get them made similar locally so I will check his prices before I pull the plug. Looks sharp though for sure.

Is it just me or did you nick that gas cap? Seems like a little raptor liner missing on its edge.

Now just to make a decision to go with these or local ones. My buddy is checking up on the ones I can get local becuase the guy who does it might have them already in stock which is a win win for me but they are only flares in front but have a tube armor that mounts in rear above the actual body armor so no flare in rear. Not sure which one I like better. I can have him put flare on it but then just leave out the bar tube.

Roughly the same price, so I'm just trying to figure out which ones I like better now.

They look good. Bad news though.... Looks like you have way too much wheel well now. Time to go bigger tires.

Looks like the bedliner is spreading. You're going to want to get a cream for that.

It looks good. I like the black and tan together. Do you have a link to the Raptor liner you used? I want to spray my 90 (whole thing) in a blue color. Since you have used Monstaliner and Raptor, which do you prefer and why (both application method and appearance)?
