Alright, So I got my Quarter Panels done. Right now I'm doing the hood. And I got a pick of one angry eye and the turn signal things. Plasti-dip did well I guess. But when you get close the edging is rough, oh well.

You need to peel the dip when it is still wet! As soon as your done spraying your final coat you peel the tape. That's the only way to get clean lines.... Did you take the turn signals out of the jeep to dip them?

I scored a free rear tube bumper today. It's a little rusted out but nothing a sand blaster won't fix, if I can get it working

Here is another shot of my finished quarter panels, my finished hood with angry eyes, and my new rear bumper which holds compressed air, and it's only letting me upload one pic at a time

I'll probably take a wire brush to it. It doesn't have any tabs on it so I have to fab up a way to mount it. It probably wont be mounted on very strong because I already have tow points and a hitch welded to the frame.

So today I decided I didn't like my Red quarter Panels, Plasti-Dip came in for the win and peeled off. And I painted my trim black. I like the way it looks right now. And I need to find a new way to take pictures where they arn't all sideways.
