I know this thread is old, but i thought Id put a lil update up of the new hood star I did a couple weeks ago. My GF liked the star so I was like what the hell if I dont like it I can just paint over it again. So here is the update, also a new front bullguard and a photoshop of a post apocalyptic scene kinda. Comments are welcomed as always.

Id be willing to help you paint it if thats what you mean. I just did mines with rattle can. So far its held up just fine, I think its mostly in the prep work. I did get a chip on the hood from a rock though, but spot painted it.

The brushguard is actually from a japanese jeep. I dont think they have them over here. As for the rockers, I had some guy make them locally for me, Im probably going to have him make me some tube doors also when I get the funds. If anyone wants to know who made my rockers just PM me. I still have his cell and email. Also anyone have some advice on how to take the doors off these by yourself? I started to cut the hinge on my drivers side door, But I cant get it loose at the top, and the bottom hinge is a biotch to cut.

if that guy sells the tube doors see if he can help you take them off, that might work

yea its rattle can, I used rustoleum satin paint for it. I still got a few cans of paint for touchups though. I think for tan you probably need more cans depending on the color of the original jeep since tan is a lot lighter.
Thanks, did you buy the cans in bulk or just off the shelf some where?

I got my paint off the shelf at home depot since I had a gift card for it. Any hardware store should have it. As far as the zombie thing goes, Im just preparing for the worse. I mean 2012 is coming near:firedevilIm not gonna sit round while some zombies try to chomp on my brains. Also the army surplus guy told me everyone is gonna turn into a zombie cause of some vaccination that mutates. But maybe that guy was tryin to sell me some army stuff and a truck...

I kind of figured that's where you were buying them from. I'm still up in the air between monstalining the outside or flat green/black/battleship gray. We'll see I guess.
Google zombie invasion, it's basically just the dead coming back to life to kill us all. More of a fun joke type thing but the army surplus dude was so in to it that my wife bought a new rifle. Depends on who you ask and you will get different responses and excitement levels.
