Aight i have recently gotten a good price on a Used 2.5 years old Fiberglass Tonneau cover for my truck... He only wants $200 for it... U think its a good deal?

I know most of them start at around $500 and go on up...

Pluses to this... I really need one of these cause i hate having to move shit in my truck in the rain and nothign covers it.

Downside... The guy lives 1.5 hrs away from me and its Marroon and the last time i checked the color of my truck it is forest green...

At least the colors kinda work out lol It will be the christmas truck! Lol ...

If i get it i plan to paint it Black most likely i figure this is the cheapest method unless i can find some colormatched paint for my truck...

Any ideas how much paint i would need and clear and what other expenses i would run into... BTW ive never painted anything on a vehicle b4.

Let me know if this is the procedure...

Rough sand....
Prime...

u could probably get it painted for a couple hundred if you know who to talk to.

I dont think im willing to shell out that kinda money to get it painted by a pro... I have the equipment to do it... I just dont have the know how lol Ive sprayed wood before and had great results but ive never done it on Automotive or with Automotive paint

im sure you can do it. just remember black is one of the most difficult colors to do. every imperfection shows up.

hmm well do u suggest white then? I mean my truck is Green... I just dont hink i can get the color match paint for a cheap amt of money

make it pink FTW

Hhah yea yea yea... Im tryin to get my dad to go in half on it... he is like NO its Marroon thats going to make ur truck look like a Christmas Tree.. I figure ill paint it i dont care... I need it for function more than looks...

Bill Buy my SX from me for $200 that way i can buy it! lol

wp > sx lol sorry.

i know but maybe u know someone who wants one? lol
