Sorry she's a bit filthy but it's been a rainy august...

I know I owe some pics of my lift. This is a 2" OME lift with HD shocks and medium duty springs. The tires are 255-55R18 mastercraft tires. I did not necessarily do the job to get the lift I just needed new shocks and springs. The ride is much improved. Also I did a flat black paint job on the hood because my hood paint was completely trashed. I still need a couple more cans of spray paint to get it even but it is much improved. If anyone does this and has many chips and peeling spots use the Rustoleum auto primer with filler. I used it and after sanded down it filled everything perfectly. I think I like the black on black LR on the front. Enjoy...

 

spray the rest of the truck 2 match!!!!!! i wanna do that as well. do you have a garage you sprayed the hood in?

 

I really like the way it looks (the paint).

How hard was it to get the Land Rover badge on the front (positioning)?

 

I really would love to get the entire truck professionally done in flat black that would be oldschool sweet.

Yes I have a garage to paint I just primed it with the filler primer and sanded it down until I had all the low spots even. Then it took 4 cans of Rustoleum flat black camo paint. To do the Land Rover I just masked off the original (silver lettering) and put on about 10 coats of gloss black to build it up.

 

I have it out of the garage for the first time and there are 5 piles of bird **** on it! Ah well

 

The lift looks good. I really like the way the Land Rover lettering on the hood stands out.

 

Thank a lot. I was not sure and either was my wife. But I did not want to do a glossy rattle can job as that would look bad IMO. My wife approves now too which is a good thing.

 

Hey, Your New York License plate is dinged up in the same place my New York license Plate is.... Coincidence? lol

 

Came from living and driving in Queens for a couple years. Let me tell you a real non painted bumper in the city is a great thing. The way to parallel park is to "feel" your way in. Bump, Bump, Bump, In There!
