Cab/moon/sport/sun visor (everyone seems to call it something different) before/after....
I'd waited a long time for one of these and a local buddy that works at a salvage yard tracked this one down for me. It's a Lund model. You can tell it's been around a while as the paint's clear coat had been peeling all over, and there were some light cracks from sun exposure.
I sanded down the entire thing with my dremel (I'ma do what you can with what you got kinda feller) and prepped it for paint.
Ran down to the local Auto Parts Zone and picked up x2 cans of Silver Rustolium Primer+Paint as well as x2 Rustolium Clear Coats and laid that **** down throughout the day between calls (I work from home for a salvage transport company).
I used x1 can of color x1 can of clear on the visor itself, and I used the other cans on the cab roof, as it had a pretty gnarly rust spot up there.
I mocked up the position (didn't have anyone to help me :/ ) by holding it up on the cab. I wanted it as low as I could, and I just eyeballed the edges to make sure they were as close as I could. I used a permanent marker to mark the holes then pre-drilled and used self tapping screws to secure them to the cab.
Before screwing in the tappers, I used the only thing I had on me to seal the holes, some RTV Gasket maker; I squirt a bunch of that **** into the holes and then gobbed it up on top so that when I laid the visor down, ideally, it will create a seal. I used some washers and used my finger to put a lil extra gasket maker at the seams just for safe measure.
You can tell it's been rattle canned if you want to be a **** waffle about it; but truth is I intend to have the whole truck painted eventually anyway, and this is just to be temporary to make me feel better about myself lol!
Overall, I'm happy with the outcome. I'll get some better shots this weekend; as it's hailing like a mother this evening.
I'll keep you posted. I'm really hoping that gasket maker will be sufficient at keeping out the moisture.
