I agree. The rattle cans suck. I only use those for small drain holes that the regular undercoating gum can’t reach. Luckily I can do 95% of the car with the spray gun. It sprays so much smoother and nicer.
I used this. 9.99 on amazon, need a cup attachment as well and a 1/4" adapter for an air hose.

I literally just did this yesterday. About 5 gallons of 87 dumped in the trunk on my 1-hour drive home from work yesterday. Leaked through the carpet and into the sub-frame then exited by dripping through the rear bumper and into the road and driveway. Luckily, it did not come out on the same side as the muffler! Nothing like huffing gas at 6:30am while commuting to work with all the windows down haha I smell like a real truck driver now
i actually use a harbor frieight electric paint gun to spray mine.

Looking to do the same. Any hints on the sound deadening material would be appreciated.Spent entire day gutting the interior, to sound deaden and dye the carpet black. Neither needed to be done, carpet looks new and there's no excessive noise into the cabin, just got bored. Driver's seat is at the upholstery place getting a new bottom cover, should get it back mid week.
Two months later, any complains?Actually,
There are four metal screws that attach four metal clips through pre-drilled locations on the deflector.

These clips slide onto the leading edge of the hood and appear to be a very snug fit.

If you look closely above, there are four 1.5" pieces of heavy duty velcro, that are oriented vertically every ~10" across the top of the grill. Mine were already attached to the deflector so all you have to do is remove the protective film and apply pressure to each tape for the deflector to maintain a very firm grip on the hood. The only other applications we made use of the six contact pads for potential vibration/wind gust mitigators at the corners.
Parts received for the install...

If you look closely above, there were no directions included for the installation...Special THANKS to @OwnerCS for providing some pics of his installation. His directions were in Russian...
I really don't know how I feel about the LEXUS advertisement on the deflector but I imagine a heat gun and a plastic scraper will make short work of it...
Cheers mates,

I ordered mine and it showed up with Lexus written on it too. Also, found the instructions in English:
Zero... Great purchase and great look. You got some directions, in English too, good for you mate.

I tried using that harbor freight gun, couldn't get it to aerosolize, was spitting everywhere. Did you thin the fluid film out before using it? Just did mine yesterday at the shop with a harbor freight spray gun I got for $20i actually use a harbor frieight electric paint gun to spray mine.

Sanded, primed, and bedlined the sliders. Forgot how heavy these things were, my back is jacked up even more now.
While i had the running boards off, i tapped into the lighting harness and powered a pair of 60" LED strip, they are very bright and useful. Drilled a small hole to feed the wire through
It's not visible unless it's lit at night, the slider hides it and it's tucked up under the truck.

i like that you encased the LED strip in that housing, should help with the lights getting mucked up. So the plugs for the original running board has enough juice to power it eh?Sanded, primed, and bedlined the sliders. Forgot how heavy these things were, my back is jacked up even more now.

They came like that $22 for a pair of it, the oem wiring has more than enough juice to power these and then some, they don't draw a lot of power, my last pair lasted for 2 years and was still working when i sold the truck.

Search on Amazon for Truck Bed LED lights and you'll see these, find the one that's $22
I modified it with a wand from an access wand you can get via Eastwood or fluid film
I got this for another purpose, which works well. https://amzn.to/3stWeBO

Depends on your budget, but Dynamat is supposedly good, expensive though. I got some on Amazon with good ratings, just make sure to apply every inch of the exposed metal. They do make a little difference, gotta line the inner doors too, a lot of work.
