Alright so I got the second coat on there it was a thick one didn't have enough to do a third coat so I just piled it on with the second. I also started painting my plastic interior pieces blue to match the outside
this weekend is half off at the pick n pulls around me so I will be picking up the transmission and transfer case at the JY I can't wait

damn murry i like that paint job. did you cut out shapes in cardboard, it looks like you have some simpler patters there. i was gonna do the same thing with blue cammo cause i am tired of all the paint and clear coat pealing.

i would love to hit the trails with, but nevada is way to far away. now did you prime and base (blue paint) with a spray can or gun? also after you were all done with the paint did you seal it so it would not flake? also i am interested in what shapes you made, and if you did it again would you free hand it?
