that looks like a nice kit vtblazer. whats the exterior color gonna be.
that does look slippery. is there any texture to it.
I had a dodge that I used Herculiner and it started peeling and chipping within the first year(not again). hopefully Ill figure somthin out soon here.

Exterior will be the same, Hugger Orange.

There is a pretty decent texture to it though.

man that looks sick! nice color. are you going to lay anything over that.

daddys72jimmy · 02-17-2010, 10:06 PM

well I took my truck out for its 3rd attempt on the road, the first test went well, drove her for about 15min. went home cause wasnt sure how much gas i had. The 2nd time I got stranded, came to a stop sign and it just died. well after gettin jumped from a CHP!, I hauled ass home, my truck was losing voltage as it ran, I think I might be my starter. anyways Im glad Im finally part of the 1st gen. k5 club, this has been a year and ahalf project. (3/4 ton, big block, 8 inch lift, all new painless wiring but enough bragging. thanks for the help and if I have any more problems, thanks again for future help.

Only carpet sections on the 'high wear' areas with magnets sewn in to keep em in place but still really simple to remove when needed.

Other than that, that's the final appearance.

What exactly do you plan to be doing in your Blazer?

BarryB · 02-18-2010, 11:55 PM

Al's tends to stay pretty pliable, and there are additves that makes it slip resistant

daddys72jimmy · 02-19-2010, 10:55 PM

ya slip resistance is important, one too many times evan with just shoes wet, my foot slipped and I hit my shin on rockers. hurts like a sona *****. like hittin ur shin on a tow hitch.

I did forget to mention that when I finish up the bed area, I'm going to re-clear the floor in a matt finish, should help the 'slip' a little bit.
