Finally Nice Enough Weather
Well, I couldn't work on my running boards until there was nice weather. Seeing as I don't have a garage. Today was a nice day here on Fort Riley, so I was able to bust out the Herculiner and do to my running boards what I have wanted to do. I masked off the scooped out step areas of the running board and Herculined that area. It looks really sharp. Sorry I don't have pics right now. It got dark just as I was finishing up. I took some pictures throughout the process and I will take more of the finished product tommorrow and post them. I though I would just let everybody know that the project was finally completed.

OK, here are the pics of the work I did on my running boards. Hope everybody like them.

Looks good, did you put any grit in with it to make it rougher for grip?

RE: Finally Nice Enough Weather
No, I just used the Herculiner straight out of the can. It brushed on WAY easier than I thought it would. It already had grit in it and that seemed sufficient enough. I don't ever really stand on my running boards anyway, except when I am clay barring my roof. It is mostly for looks, but if I do give a ride to someone with shorter legs they will have it there to stand on. Now I have some Herculiner left over. Any suggestions???

RE: Finally Nice Enough Weather
You could use it as a rust/chip preventer. Just make sure to prep the surface properly (sanding/removing any rust, etc.)

Yeah, as long as you prep the surface properly, you could use it for a chip/rust prevention. Also, the running boards were just smooth and white before I did this.
