I would think they would be more popular than the Stovebolt thongs. Well maybe not for Zim and Popcorn My Eyes are hurting! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 | I tried to use a terry cloth table cover, but it slides around on the freshly painted clear coat. Man it dont take nothing to leave a mark on the painted surface. Hope they can buff a couple of one we have now. I think i need some about 40" sq. All the ones i've seen are 22 x 34 or so. Like it to have some kind of a foam or rubber backing on it so it dont slide around. Even saw magnets on one type, but i aint sure i want that. Looked at custom made one, but they want $230 for the art charge , plus the covers. Little on the pricy side. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,437 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,437 | be careful with those magnetic fender covers.. they attract metal shavings!!!!

Also, any color to match your paint. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | I think we need a specially designed STOVEBOLT.COM fender cover. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 | I agree with Builder, the one on the market now really bite. If you only had some little baby fender, then they'd work out fine. Even the smallest bolts fender is several times the size of an averge car or truck. There must be some place out there that make good ones, with a name on them. This may be another thing i'll have to make myself. To bad there arent more places that support the needs of this hobby, last time i checked my money was still green and good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | I myself never use fender covers, not even at work. It's too easy to leave a tool on or get something under it and when you let your guard down the fender gets damaged. Without fender covers I'm always careful, no matter what service I'm doing. Just make sure your not wearing a belt buckle that can cause damage or, if you're like me, you can hide it under your gut, Scott | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | My found this use , She brought me down Several of the Boys old Baby blakets .....ya might look silly when your Buds show up an ya got teddy bears and horsies on your truck fender , but they work ! ..  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 | Yes, the hiding on things under my gut, seems to be a problem.

It is protective and non-slip at the same time.
