It's the original Disco grill, i just removed it, laid out a drill pattern and went to town with a stepped drill bit to add a bit of air flow and interest.

 

@IamGoose Very nice work

 

Thanks Richard.

That's the coolest paint job on a D2 I have ever seen.

 

Thanks Discorama

 

You're correct - you do have far too much time on your hands ...

But wow; way cool.

The only thing I might have done differently is the roof. I wouldn't have gone with black, especially in the Florida heat. What did you use for the "silver" color on the steel doors to match the Shark Hide-sealed aluminum panels?

 

That is very nice work. I must say that The grille looks pretty cool.

 

Thanks,




True, a black roof in Florida is a major heat gain but she lives in the garage 90%of her life right now. The doors are the natural steel that has been finished to a brushed finish to be as close to the brushed aluminum as I could get it so that it matches the rest of the rig. The steel was then sealed with Shark Hide and black bed liner used as the basis of the accents.

 

That is seriously cool! Every once in a while I see someone do something really cool with a vehicle and think, "Damn, I wish I had that kind of creativity." (And time as the case may be)

It's funny, too, that you posted this because I only realized this past week that our Discos have aluminum body panels but steel roofs and doors. I was trying to use a magnetized bolt holder while installing my ladder and kept getting pissed because it wouldn't stick to the rear quarter panel.

 

You have not only more time than I, but you also have far more patience and skill!

What did you use to strip the original paint? (Not that I'm planning to do this any time soon ...)
