pic's of new paint job

[maxboost82]

finally finished painting my 80 last week it is rustoleum in the can mixed 1:1 w/ laquer thinner looks real slick. this weekend were going to hit the trails so ill see if it holds up the way i want it too. if it doesnt ive only wasted 30$ in paint and materials. wish me luck yO's!

33'' bfg all terrains stock suspension. ill get some daylight pics this saturday and keep you fellas informed! it is a semi gloss paint. i didnt want a chalky look to it so we'll just have to see how long it last. it is an oil based paint. wish me luck and thanks for the feedback.

that looks killer!

30 bucks?
how much time in prep?

shoot, if it only lasts a year, it's still worth it.

what color was it before?

I couldn't do black (too dang hot down here) but like the idea of going to some sort of custom color

this is what it looked like on day one, i put the pro comp wheels and bfg's from my Tahoe on it. day 2 was window tint. and cleaning. the paint on the hood was peeling so a paint job was always in the plans. day 3 i took off the hitch and made a new one recessing it through the back bumper. the bottom pic i ended up covering the headlights and most of the taillights offroading in a flash flood creek there was another 80 in front of me guiding me through and a taco behind me that ended up hydro locking his motor....that night i backed into a tree......notice my hatch was open, well i got squashed so its taken me this long to find another 80 locally that didn't need a back hatch..it didn't have a glass either so ill be using a marlar coated sheet of lexan for the rear window should look tough. ill post more pics soon.

more than a few folks would be interested in your custom hitch setup...... nice work.

Looks good. I would like to see the hitch as well. Maybe just a shot of the rear bumper cut out until you get a chance to get a shot of the hitch mount underneath.

looks like a few step 6's were involved in that daylight shot....
