Might as well rabbit hole...

This round of mods started because my hood and roof were peeling. The previous owner had Maaco paint the Jimmy. They "forgot" to prep or prime the hood and roof. My buddy walked out to my truck and started scraping large portions of the remaining paint off.

Fast forward and now the hood, rockers, and inner rockers/door sills are color matched LINE-X. The grill, headlight bezels, rear filler panel, wheel wells, fender flares and roof are black premium LINE-X.

I ordered a Grizzly Metalworks bumper and have a 10k Warn waiting to go in it. And I pulled the driver's seat out to get the seat foam reworked so that the Ruff Tuff seat covers will fit tightly when they show up.

I was happy just driving the truck and enjoying it. Until the paint was missing from half the hood

That looks good!

Thanks! I'm happy with how it turned out, even if I wasn't planning on it. The truck looks like a different vehicle now that it doesn't have peeling paint and rusty spots.

Any before pics? I was debating bedlinering my blazer body but my dad and buddy have talked time out of it for the time being.

Where did you get the fender flares from?
Those are really nice

Sorry, no before pics. I probably should have taken some. It had a basketball sized bare, rusty spot on the hood that stained and looked nasty. It took about 20 minutes to completely strip all of the remaining paint on the hood. The roof wasn't as bad because the original paint was under the Maaco work.

The grill was black spray paint that the PO didn't even mask or remove to spray. The turn signals were pained black behind the grill.

I'm not sure on the flares. They were decent but faded and had some cracks. I have Warn in my head but I'm not sure.

I'd be hesitant to use bedliner on the whole body unless you're comfortable with the shop doing the work. Tolerances are tight and everything should be disassembled/removed to do it correctly. Realistically, a good shop will probably charge upwards of $4k to do it right. It's awesome when done but there's a lot of time and work in it.

I'm going to mimic chrome on the winch bumper when it shows up. Silver with a ton of flake...

I have Warn Flares, don't think yours are. Warns cover the chrome on the back part of the turn lens.

You're right - After searching, I'm almost positive that they're Bushwacker extend a fenders
