so as I posted before. I got rid of the front bling and sprayed the front grill black:eek:

It didn't quite look right.:eek:
so I took the plunge and sprayed the bonnet matt black:augie

oh dear.It was a bit too breezy and the engine had warmed the bonnet drying the aerosols instantly:doh.

oh well no going back now:D.I have just ordered some military vehicle nato matt black:D
2.5 ltrs for 22 quid with free delivery.thats enough paint me whole truck:D

I know a bloke who painted his landy with this using a glossing roller and it looked sprayed on.

I will only be doing the bonnet for now or else r!cho will be having all my money to replace my graffics:eek:

its a very patchy spray job I must admit. but once its been done properly i.e removing the bonnet and doing in a proper environment I think it will look good.
I have also ordered a road legal stick on no plate to put on the bonnet:D

next job I think is to try and cut as much bumper off as possible without it being unsafe or illegal.

then its replacing the rear door card with a cooking shelf and storage.then that useless center consol is deffinatly out:D

another 3 years and it my be something like I want it:lol
 
ooops forgot pics:doh

r!cho.
im looking for some lego good cop bad cop stickers.
if this upload works I would like them in orange about 12" diameter.

one of the obedient cop and one of angry cop:thumb2
if you can do them I will order a few other bits too:thumb2
 
The matt black should stop or really cut down any light glare from the roof lights:thumbs think the bumpers & door mouldings would look good in black aswell then you'll only have 3 colours instead of 4:augie
 
Looking awesome bud, tell you modding is an illness, since Wales I've been dying to get a spring lift for the Trol...

Reckon I'm gonna put that on hold though and get a membership for the local offroad place - 150 acres of reclaimed woodland... woohoo!!

that's one of the major reasons I decided to do it matt black.that should in theory absorb the light and not glare:D

and I was also sat here looking at the pics myself thinking mmmm:naughty
maybe all of the plastics going black. it will cover all the scuffs and its cheap as chips to repaint after outings:augie.

were on the same wavelength:D

As you know the bumpers & door mouldings are what get scratched the most green laning so a cheap & easy fix on these would be great to keep it looking good plus you'll stand out in the crowd having a T2 green over black instead of the very common green over gold:thumbs

I painted the edges with a brush and used a gloss roller for the rest:D
a few bits will need a little sanding before the next coat.
