i used the rustoleum bedliner paint. i been wanting to paint them for a while but i couldnt find a bedliner that wasnt too chunky looking. this one looks great and was easy as hell to do, kinda looks like a sandpaper texture. Even if you spray too much in one spot, once it dries it doesnt show. win win for me!

i notice a hair difference after i painted, but i was also planning on rebalancing after. just havent gotten around to it. but that could also be because i didnt mount the same tire back on the exact rim it was on.

nice, i just saw them in your photo album unpainted. I still get a weird lol out of it cause they look sooo small on your truck with the big tires, like 16's or so.
