I saw this on a 2000. The lower half is black. Was this a factory special thing or did somebody get creative?

 

Someone got creative, I'm almost positive.

 

Creative, LR never did any paint jobs like that. Yellow, Orange sure, but that nah.

 

I think it looks good.

 

LR did a metallic pale gold color but never a black lower half so the black is an addition. Not sure whether the gold was for the NAS market or just europe. It's called Maya Gold.

Looks like someone stopped a little short judging by the overspray just above the rear bumper

I think that's a White Gold paint job since it's an earlier D2. Maya Gold was an 03-04 thing and they were true gold looking.

 

They likely used bedliner paint for that.

When I did my sliders, I thought seriously hard about doing this exact same thing to my white '02. Tape along that body strip and use a roller to apply.

Would be simple enough to do

 

I earned a few nics in the film. It did the job as there doesn’t appear to be any damage to the paint but the film has a tear or two. Has anyone tried to have sections of the wrap replaced by their dealer?
