I am looking for pics of poison spyder aluminum tube fenders. What did you do . Paint them or leave them bare. I want to see what they would look like bare metal. I am thinking of doing this with mine when they come in. I don't want it shiny but a brushed look. How would you get a brushed look, steel wool ? Any pics will help ,painted or bare. Thanks

 

Looks like we may have the ame color JK. I wanted to go with a Anthracite(Grey). I was talked into Matte Black by the powder coater. His reasoning was there are so many other things Matte Black that adding a fourth color would look odd. I also thought about leaving them bare but when you see the in thier raw form I think you will want them painted.

Here are a few pictures of mine to give you an idea. Like I said we look to have the same color JK.

 

Mine are steel, but they are powder coated and painted.

 

ya looks good. You even have the body armour and rock rails I ordered. It gives me a good idea about the look. I also have the corner panels coming in too.

 

I had a hard time deciding on color too. I thought I had my mind made up until I got to the place that powder coated mine. He changed my mind for me. I really wanted to do them in Anthracite. If only I have bougth the Argent AEV Pintlers. Then it would have worked.

I assume you will be installing these all at the same time. If you don't mind a couple words of advice. The drill bits you'll need to make the holes for the riv-nuts are not common sizes that you will have in a standard kit. There will be at least two drill bits you will have to purchase. My local Sears, Harware Stores, and Auto Parts stores did not carry them. I had to go to Fastenal or Grainger. Places that specializes in tools.

Second things is installing the riv-nuts. I bought a tool specifically for installing riv-nuts. The tool PSC suppiles will work but doing the fenders and body armor at the same time will wear your hands and arms out. I bought a riv-nut tool on Ebay for under $200. The ole saying measure twice cut once has never been more true on installing these. If you do not get these holes drilled just about perfect and the riv-nuts are not aligned with the holes on the fender or body armor it will make things difficult. I messed up on one but made it work.

 

Aluminum? Get it anodized. If you leave them bare they might get dull white like a wheel.

 

good to know thanks. But with my bad shoulders I will have someone do the work and I will supervise kinda haha I can wait with the fenders and just see what it will look like, I can always paint them later. The important part is the corner guards and body armour
so they match up with no big gap between them.
