What are limb risers?

Thinking I can get a matchbox car or model paint to match it, would like to do it while the rack is off

No I have several areas where the paint is bubbled with corrosion under it, do I just sand that and spray on self etch primer? Never messed with painting aluminum like this before

Any chance you can get em to spray a paint chip when you get the rover done? Like an index card size

I did the MG in plasti dip last year, royal blue pearl. It's getting redone in plasti dip in a few weeks in Saturn Yellow Pearl.

The 110 will be getting Team Orange Pearl Plasti-dip shortly after that. Thinking it will take about 8 gallons.

Been looking at camel pics a lot and is it me or is it real real close to "old caterpillar yellow"? If so that's easy to get cheap and durable

This'll be the 3rd dip job I've had. Gun metal, satin white metallic, and then sand glow yellow.

Not sure how accurate it'll be, but I'll post photos.

Found my paint, caterpillar yellow sold at tractor supply, $30 gallon and they sell hardener/reducer to spray it plus rattle cans

Here is the tire cover sprayed it is more tan then the pic shows looks like a perfect match like muddy color
