I don't like the fender flare idea but I will probably paint the rockers black along with the grill. I forgot to paint my cowl cover so I'm going to do that in black as well. My rear bumper is staying black too

I can go either way on the fender flares. But again with a stock Jeep. I just feel the black breaks up the red. If it were me not sure how I would handle the flares on yours though.

Thank you! I had to order another four bottles today as I can definitely see areas I sprayed a little light, like on the hood, doors, etc. It'll also give me a few back-up bottles for touch ups in the future.
I also ordered a roof rack awning for the upcoming Jeep show camping weekend. Our instant-up got destroyed by the wind and bent the bars last year on the beach. I'm excited for that.

Lol i appreciate it man, but she's anything but show quality. Plenty of little dings i didnt bother fixing(and I've added a few since), but she definitely looks better than when i got her.
But I'm digging the redliner, you did a great job with it. Thats a lot of work you put in, but it paid off.

Roof rack on, gutter rail mold repair failed and pulled off while tightening down the rack so I clamped it down with some jbweld epoxy, and it's nice and firm now. Good thing I ordered more paint because it flaked some off the roof when it happened.
