Have questioned the Black/Grey wheel carrier issue with the supplier......they can't exactly say I got it wrong as the truck was in front of their faces when we were scoping the job. I'm not really fussed as it will get painted at some stage as even the ARB grey is different from part to part, although I now think grey is the best colour to go with the silver and black elements of the truck....either that or black....but definitely not silver.
The 80 Series front/rear locker switch ordered today so should provide a nice OEM feel to the extra locker gubbins - plenty of Carling switch slots for the compressor switch - I want this to be able to be operated separately as it will be used to air up the tyres
Had another whinge at BOAB for not getting me the price and availability info for the drawers + stuff I would like....the response is glacial and I am in the market to spend some serious money.....at this rate I'll do a direct import: it will be quicker and probably cheaper given the exchange rates
Update: ARB say that they now ONLY supply that in black and have stopped supplying equipment in "Millennium Grey". So I'll spray the part in the nearest grey I can which won't be too difficult off the truck.
Having looked at it just spraying the new black swing out to match the existing swing out will be easiest and will look quite neat too. The old swing out is a metallic dark grey similar to my new BMW but I think it is powdercoat metallic? Are there any issues with spraying over powder-coat and do I need to use any specific primer?
