Default Finshed my paintjob!

Thought I would share it...I used Krylon Camo tan, Dupli color beadliner and Krylon semi flat black for the front grill. What do you think???







I also ripped of the headliner and sprayed it with duplicolor

Looks great! Are the mirrors chrome? I think they would look better in black.

looks killer.

don't try taking the door handles off. you'll probably break the studs.

but if you are bent on trying, remove the inner panel and you'll see the nuts inside. i can't remember what size they are, maybe 8mm or 10mm, but like i said, they'll probably just break, then you'll have to buy new ones.

just tape them off and spray them. i learned this the hard way.

ya you have to pull the trim off the inside the door, and get a 10 mm deep socket and loosen 2 nuts, then take off the mechanism that opens up the door .. it slides off.. you can do it once you get good at it in about a min.. i took off my old black ones and got some chrome ones so im almost a pro at it!

like he said, and i said too.. they are hard to put back, you have to be careful not to just snap the thread in 2

Any extra road noise or loss of heat without the headliner.
