I finally got tired of my jeep being 4 different colors, so I spent some money on it. I bought 3 cans of Gray spray, 2 cans of bedliner, and some tape, grand total of about 15-20.00. So I Decided last night, what better to do on my saturday night but to get drunk and paint my jeep. So I did. here are some before pictures.





And the after. Im of the mind that it looks good, even after Ive sobered up. there are a few more things I need to do, replacing all of my window seals was planned anyways, and I alsoneed to wash the rest (the roof and inside) to see how drastic of a difference there is in color.

Here goes.






I also need to replace a lot of my emblems, but a couple trips to pull a part and were there. comments, crits?

BTW, before I get flamed, the euros on my truck are of necessity, not of taste. I dont wanna spend the 50.00 on that truck to get normal lights, and it runs fine without them, its a ford...

Bah. It just fits my appearance lol. It was even more amusing when i drove an ecpipse. Im 6'3" and about 275 mostly muscle and getting out of thet eclipse looked like a sasquatch in a RC car.

Now it fits me. Im also well known for pulling others home when they break, so the tire clearance is a must up front. Hence the buzzcut. The rear window was caused by a rogue tow hook. People are idiots. I look like a hardass all the time tho lol. Think tiny from devils rejects.

I don't know...I like the "my rig is clearly worth less than yours so you might want to get out of the lane I want in because I obviously don't mind swapping paint with you" look. It seems to command respect on the streets (maybe 'respect' isn't the best word choice there).
