    peeling / chipping blizzard pearl paint

    Anywhere chipped it is worth sanding down to the bare metal and then a little extra around it. Making sure you find anything loose or where moisture could be underneath. Orbital sander and an hour. Then one spray can of etching primer to cover all those spots. After all that, you do the quick...

    Avoid Blizzard Pearl at all costs?

    The closest thing to doing this was when I Plasti-dipped my old Impreza with a paint gun. A lot more prep work for the liner to come out good but only watched youtube videos to prepare. If your paint is going I see little reason to not do this for what most people are using these trucks for...

    Avoid Blizzard Pearl at all costs?

    I found this abused NJ-owned 04 and it was a disaster. Ended up sanding a Lot but after Bedlining ($400 in supplies, $60 to rent a large air compressor, and 3 days to prep, tape, and paint) it white I'm super happy with it. Door jams fade super well and just hose it clean at the end of the day.

    CV Axles

    CVJ is a great resource as well if you are not up to rebuilding yourself but want OEM quality or better for the lift. I worked with them to decide if mine were worth rebuilding myself of just getting a core refund ($120 I think) they offer when you order from them. I was putting on a 2.5" lift...
