Came out awesome! Can you share how you got the clean lines without the plasti dip wanting to peel with the tape? I have an idea but I wanna hear what you did before I say what I'm going to do. Lol and bummer they didn't send you the monster green. Me and you must like silver on lime green lol. But seriously it looks great I'm so happy everyone is dipping now!

And did you use rattle cans or did you spray it with a gun?

They say if you pull the tape while its wet you'll get a clean line. I didn't trust it so I ran a blade along the tape before I pulled it. I used a Wagner 300 spray gun for this project. Once the Monster Green shows up the camo is getting peeled off.

Ok that's what I was thinking and apparently you can do your coats like normal letting them dry throughout and then when your ready to pull the paint your supposed to just do a final light coat so it's wet. But there's no harm in running a blade down it. It looks great the way it is I can't wait to see the monster green on it. That's the great thing about plasti dip!

On the dip your car videos Fonzie just runs right over old coats. But since you want a nice clean line it might be worth It just to peel off what you have.

I could probably go right over it but I don't want to run the risk of that line showing up. I checked it out in the sunlight today, the camo green is starting to grow on me. I was thinking about leaving it, peeling the header and painting the wheels.

I really like that color on the silver I think it looks great. If anything I would peel the header panel and just leave it silver. What color were you thinking about doing the wheels in? I like the contrast the black wheels give.

I have Nate's bumpers on the way and they will be black so I figured I would do the wheels the camo green since I'm losing the green bumpers, I don't...

New plugs and fresh oil today. Also replaced a broken bar pin in the rear shock and sent the rear sway bar to the scrap yard.

One of the two batteries came in yesterday so I threw it in. Also got 4 shackles in for the bumpers that Nates is building me, hopefully I get them soon.

Front bumper from Nates4x4 showed up yesterday, powder coater picked it up this morning. The rear should be here Wed and the winch by next Wed. Can't wait to get this stuff on

Swirlchaser - can you tell me more about this intake you installed to make room for the 2nd battery? I've never seen that before.. I like it!

Swirlchaser

It's made by Spectre Performance. It's a little noisy in the cabin but not terrible. Passanger side of the cowl is covered, the drain holes are below where the intake comes in so any water that gets into the cowl will drain before the intake can pick it up. The air filter is an inline cone style. I found it online for $150.

I like where you're going with this. You have the fender flares trimmed the same way I do!

Swirlchaser

Thanks, but I think their days are numbered. I'm itching for 1 more inch of lift and some 33's...

I just got a teaser pic texed to me from the guys at the powder coat shop...
