The HNR needs a topcoat as it cures rather soft. Since the rear quarter panels are going underneath the armor I sprayed some black spray paint on it to help it out.

The outward facing sides of the armor I sprayed with self-etching primer.

Got the armor mounted! The driver's side was a major PITA between the fuel filler neck being in the way to get the nuts on the bolts and also the sheet metal screws poking me from my metal "patch".

Here's the driver side where I did my "patch". The quarter panel armor and bed liner have concealed it nicely.

It looks stock unless you know what to look for! These should add some much needed support and protection.
