I like! What was the process? What did you use?

Here is a good how tohttp://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5067

but I did it a little different, I just used medium grit sandpaper and that was it, I figured the rougher it is the better it will stick, and I went with the spray on bedliner from walmart, it actually feel like I put grip tape on it, plus it was cheaper, im pretty sure you can use any thing you want.

Not bad, I like it; maybe one of these days I'll get around to doing this.

How about putting on a primer first, should I put some on. What do you think?

I think I'll do a practice test on my spare tire

I'm not familiar with the thickness/properties of bedliner, but did you have to get your wheels balanced afterwards? Wouldn't the liner throw off the balance?

Personally...It's not something I would do, but you have to like it..not me

It was only two coats, not enough to need a re-balance.

I was just thinking about getting mine powdercoated flat black. I like the way they turned out!

I wouldn't mind doing that to mine, after all it looks very nice and sharp. Especially with this economy

I would like to get mine chromed. I like the way my stock 16's look and I haven't found many aftermarket ones that I liked.
