Can anyone that has lined only their roof share some pics? Curious what lines you chose. I can't decide if I want to carry the line from the rain gutter around the back or not.

Has anyone added another coat (3rd) months or longer? I did two coats but would really like to add a 3rd in the spring. I still have to pull the roof rack off fill the holes and monstaline the roof. There are a few rough spots on the hood and fenders I'd like to smooth out.
as long as you scuff it up a bit before you add another coat of ML onto the existing ML you'll be fine. If you want more thickness or repairing a few spots, go for it.
I forgot that I haven't added my Monstalined pics from this summer to this thread. I used a gallon of blood bath to cover the lower body from the body line around the lower valence in the front and the tailgate in the back. I also had enough to do 4 lines on the roof to cover the welded factory roof rack holes as well.
@pandathrust, I wish that color was a touch darker to match the factory red a little better but its in my top 3 of choices for what I'm going to do my 80 in.
This is a sexy beast, just monnstalinere in black the rest in clear coat ?
Neither close to factory green whicj]h I really like, is it possible to customise ti ti actual factory green ?Have you ordered the color chips? Jungle Love is nothing like the factory green on the 80s. It's very saturated and 'cartoony' looking. I was hoping it'd be like a dark hunter/forest green but not the case when I saw the actual color in full sunlight.
This is Jungle Love and WWII OD Green against the green factory paint on my '96
And a pic I found on the web
That looks greta , not my cup of tea since i need my tuck for "business" but bad ass , takes big balls for a truck like this
Rolled on some black a few weeks ago. Texture could have been better if I was patient and put on thinner coats, but overall I am happy. OEM color was red so I krylon'd the door jambs.
Any update on what you've done to rectify this problem ?
Whats with thee lumps ?, tha looks rough ?
You can tint it factory red.
Looking good!My attempt at matching the 40th anniversary Sage Pearl. We either added too much tint or the paint is faded (likely a combination), but I like it.

This is awesome pandathrust! I've been going back and forth with the wife about how we are going to address the rapidly fading paint on the Cruiser. She wants a Maaco single stage and I want to Monstaline the whole thing. Your Cruiser is the best of both worlds. She can have the shiny upper half and I will have the protected lower half. It just so happens that Monstaliner make a blue that is a perfect match for the Nightshadow Pearl.

How can I get Monstaliner tinted to the factory white? Tried a mix of their bright white and the killer Beej color. Turned out not even close. Can a paint shop tint the Monstaliner? Thx
Monstaliner has the specifics online but you get the tintable monstaliner. You go to an auto paint store that can actually mix colors and give them the paint code. You want just the tint. I used 10oz of the tint per gallon. The directions online will give you the specifics but that's pretty much all you have to do. It's pretty straight forward and easy to do.
