It's been a few years that I've had my 40 in primer and rusting. It's sole purpose is to play in the mud so having a nice paint job hasn't been a priority. I decided to get the body cleaned up a bit and throw a cheap paint job on it to slow the aging process. Here's a couple before and afters. The color isn't for everyone but I like it. It grows on you.

Not sure of the paint but it's Olive Green #653 like ibejamie says! It was kind of funny. The guy sprayed the hood and caled me afterwards. The message he left was something like . "Hey... ummmm... your hoods painted... uhhhh ... call me right away, please." When I spoke to him he asked if I was sure I wanted to paint the rest of it. I told him not to worry. The color grows on you!.

The dune beige is a nice color too. It was just too clean for a MUD truck! That black slop has to blend in as an accent color

yep, when the rims, hood latches, windshield hinges, bezel and other stuff is black... it yells "bad-a$$"!

that was my factory color had the PO not painted it black i would have left it alone but few things are worse than black, had i been able to find a cheap rustoleum knock off of that i would have gone back to it dont let anyone tell you that isnt a kick ass color. B/C ITS A KICK ASS COLOR!!! you need stock steelies though .... and umm.... a bezel <-- A WHITE ONE!!!

Stock steelies? Will they fit my one ton rear end? I think I'll have to paint the white wheels black. I'd like a bezel too but don't want to spend a $100 on one! No white- No chrome! No un-necessary controls. Ignition lights and horn!

lol id be more worried about fitting those fat ass tires on steelies it can be done with enough $$$$ though fitting 1tons just requires opening them up the centers a little. (and i was more just picking, those are the same wheels i have, except mine are rattle can black) id just rather have the old school look just my thing i like to look stock and highly modified at the same time

You could always have a wheel shop custom make "stock" looking steelies for you, we had a set of 16x9's made for our 45... Not cheap though...

Were into tall and wide down here. Even my 80 series is like that. Of course we don't rock crawl around here.
