Waiting on parts so back to the paint, got the roof painted outer perimeter of hood and front fenders shot, I was rushing so got a few small runs but no biggie, mainly wanted roof done to get the rack back on

Here is the sneak preview

Looks pretty good, the pics make it look closer to AA yellow used on the XD though but I like it

Trust me it is no where near that yellow on the xd,, this is more mustard/school bus

I noticed the same on real camel pics, depending on direct sun or not he paint looks like 2 different colors, I think this color is close, I realty like how it looks

One day I may rattle can mine...I just want to chop the roof off and gut the interior first. I showed the wife a picture of Lane's old truggy except I used a sharpie to mark differences in the cage I would like to make....she wasn't impressed

Not sure how accurate it'll be, but I'll post photos.
Do you do it yourself, or do you have it done?

Have it done, my buddy does it professionally.

Tom, looks good, but I think the glossiness is throwing off the color.

I agree, the tire cover I used the rattle can , body I sprayed from the matching gallon, rattle can is duller and more mustard

Got the rest prepped gonna try to spray today, need to adjust the gun got a few runs unseen till it dried

I do my dipping myself, places around here charge quite a bit for a full car dip. Plus it's not hard to do and pretty forgiving to work with.

Tom I'm really surprised at how glossy that paint is coming out.
