What color?

what level of repaint? Doors off or just gonna have them mask and spray the outside? I’ll be Interested to see what the $3k will get you. Might need to wet sand, buff and polish after.

My neighbor used these guys and his paint job turned out pretty nice. They are just masking and doing the outside but they will remove a bunch of the trim. I'm going to do factory silver but have the spray the top satin black. I'm sure it won't be perfect but it will be a lot better than the peeling clear coat that I had all over!

Still waiting to get the disco back from paint. They messed up the order and painted it all silver rather than painting the roof black so it will be until Tuesday. In the mean time I’m working on prepping and herculining the nerf bars and rear bumper.

Finally got the rover back from paint. Looks great although the gloss black on the roof really shows a lot of imperfections. I am really happy I did away with all the black trim. Looks a lot better. Tonight I install the nerf bars and sun roofs so I can take it to the headliner shop tomorrow morning. Got a lot of detailing and clean up to do plus the rear bumper reinstall. Plenty to keep me busy all weekend long.

I removed my flares as well. I think they look a lot better without.

Thanks! I’m happy with it. Like I said, there are a few imperfections here and there but it looks way better.

Got the nerf bars and sun roofs back in. Used some flex seal around the edges to protect against water infiltration. Also mounted the spare because it looked empty without it.

Tomorrow I get the recovered headliner professionally installed so that will be a big step in the right direction. The Noico I added to the ceiling is much better than the reflectix I had there before. Helps with sound and temps. More to come!​​​​​​​

This is going to sound weird but I had my headliner out for about two weeks waiting on material to redo it. I assumed it would be loud and annoying with it out. I noticed no difference at all in the sound deadening in or out.

That does look awesome. Love the wheels and two tone.

I put a rock wool type insulation in the cavities in the roof and I think it made a pretty big difference in sound
