I was really looking into monstaliner and once I was ready to order it and do it myself, my dad booked an appointment with the linex guy and said that he would pay because he thought I wouldn't be happy with the monstaliner so my truck bed is linex and I like it but I think monstaliner would have been nice too

I'm getting a set of original oem wheel covers (I call them hub caps) but anyway, of course they are not in mint cond., so what is the best way to paint these? Is there a special paint, they're not exactly chrome, more like stainless steel I guess. Should I have the shop paint them, truck is going in one week for full bodywork and paint anyway. Or is it best to just use a rattle can?

Well, the website stated that they are used and MAY have fading, blemishes etc.

But your right, they may be fine. I have not seen them yet, they're sending me the best 4 they have. We'll see..

Typically they are just polished stainless, if aluminum(I doubt) they may need to be re-anodized, if steel, then clear coated or re-chromed steel is easier and cheaper to paint if it needs touch-up

Saw a 68-72 Chevy this morning, original faded paint , rust here and there, old bed cap, white walls and hubcaps-green to boot. Looked awesome. Sometimes stock is the way to go.

Hey, i hear ya man. Love that gen. I attend a lot of car shows in the summer. I usually walk past the modified stuff, although some are pretty cool, but i always look for the all stock stuff. Most over 40 can appreciate...
