So I bought myself a gift for ECXC thanks to Angel and Dana at ruff stuff.  Question about painting the bare steel, I know a few guys have these and wanted to know did you paint the inside or just the outside? I’m pretty sure it’s just the outside by figured I would ask. Thanks in advance and I have to say the cover is so beefy, just awesome. Bear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I used blue shop towels. I used a good vch primer filler, around 3 coats. Then vhc roll bar and chassis paint. I did use an acrylic red for the gorilla. But have since gone over it with black. Have fun with it. Be unique lolQuestion about painting the bare steel, I know a few guys have these and wanted to know did you paint the inside or just the outside?

It should tell you to apply and bead and let it sit for a specific amount of time before assembly. That is to let the rtv cure a bit and form the gasket |
