Why did they talk you out of it? I'm just curious why they thought it was a bad idea

I plan on rattle canning mine. My clear coat is peeling bad so i plan on sanding it down and just spraying it olive drab. And maybe putting a Army star on each door. Its not my DD just my trail rig. I was hoping someone has some pics.

well they didn't say i shouldn't do it, it was more of a question of getting the paint job first or a set of front and rear bumpers first. if i had a garage i'd rattle can it myself..

I did mine in the back yard and about 2 min after I got done it rained. lol Just scotch pad the whole thing to knock off whatever shine is there so the paint sticks.
