the rat look....

[exosteve]

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

It didn't quite look right.
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.I have just ordered some military vehicle nato matt black
2.5 ltrs for 22 quid with free delivery.thats enough paint me whole truck

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

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

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

another 3 years and it my be something like I want it:lol

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

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

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

right then. I had an hour spare after work today so its time for stage 2 of operation matt black.

 

[exosteve]

I gave the bumpers and trim a good scrub. but was too shattered from work to key it in and sand it. maybe next time im sure it wont be long before its done again::augie

I have plenty of paint though. no need to worry about parking in aldi:augie

 

[exosteve]

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