What did you do to your TRX today?

[APEX TRX]

Painted tow hooks and “RAM” on the grill red. And flat black on the ugly grey skid plate.

When you say, "and flat black on the skid plate" does that mean you did it yourself with some spray paint?

Looks Great! Always good to see another Az. truck. What kind of prep did you do to the skid plate and what type of paint? I have been wanting to paint my skid plate for a while now.

Yeah I just plastidip’d it lol. So probably won’t hold up long. But the hooks I took a little more time on. I took them off and put several coats on and clear coats. The grey skid plate I absolutely hated so it was just a quick fix.

Yeah it was a quick plastidip job on the skid plate. Temporary I know.

Looks great, I think that will be my next DIY mod.

I did the dip on my truck before I got the rebel black. I liked it.

Gotta love CA, I just wanted to fill it up with one swipe…not two.

Supported a local business and bought this hitch from Hitches and Things. Great work

I ordered the same colors for my white TRX! Now just need the truck! Looks great!

Looks good!

I wonder how a high-quality industrial grade semi-flat black canned spray paint would hold up on the skid plate. Worst case, repaint every 6 months but easy to get to. I hate the thoughts of actual replacement and someone screwing up, and not sure I feel like tackling that job. Thanks

Completed red accent pics to come tomorrow. Front badge/hooks and front emblem being finished today.

wishing I had mine back or a new one to replace it with. 3rd week in the shop after spending 3 weeks in shop before. My right foot is itching. Not even my Vette will scratch that one

That’s crazy!!

When it takes three swipes to fill up I will be getting something more economical. Like a charger or challenger

I'm impressed with the mileage a Challenger can get. Even with me driving the 'Cat gets around 22 mpg. More impressive, my girlfriend's Redeye consistently gets about 24 mpg.

Those are hand calculated numbers, and on curvy roads with a couple of thousand feet of elevation changes. Also, often at twice the speed limit in my case, while she generally keeps it below 100.

That looks fantastic. Did you remove the parts to paint them and did you paint them by hand? I dodn't know if hands are steady enough to do that!

Doing what a truck should…..couldn’t tell it was behind me…. The hay weighed 3200 lbs. Cheers.
