Hey everyone, First off I owe a special thanks to user 2SSRS for getting the wheel spinning in the right direction on this project. I went into it being told it is a pretty labor and time intensive project which proved to be true but I am very happy with the end result. This is essentially the similar mod that 2SSRS does with a fine texture Rhinoliner finish. I went with Rhinolining instead of using a Filler Primer and a black paint to add more support and have a good amount of texture still. Let me know what you think of it!

Nice work man.

japitzer · 05-16-2012, 09:10 PM

Very nice, was wondering can you paint the rear diffuser the body color?

TonyC · 05-16-2012, 09:14 PM

i believe you can but you have to sand the texture off first, i had the front of my 08 duramax painted, with out smoothing it out came out great for 3 months then got chipped and peeled bad

Turbo_J89 · 05-16-2012, 09:28 PM

you don't necessarily have to sand it all the way down to get the texture off. You can use a Filler Primer to fill in the texture and make it look nice and smooth.

I'm curious to about pricing...

Turbo_J89 · 05-18-2012, 05:55 PM

It was $107 after tax for the Rhinolining here locally and $60 worth of other supplies. If you want use a filler primer, a flat black paint, and a semi-gloss clear coat instead you can cut the cost down about $50 under that. I would say right about 15 hours of labor is involved as well.

RJsCamaro · 05-24-2012, 10:19 AM

So how do you do it?
