Ok, so it's sort of a lie. We actually only spent 37 dollars on the Safety Red paint and some primer. But I figure with the sand paper and the highlight paint it probably came close to 50. Plenty worth it to make sure the vehicle looked good for the 4th of July parade a couple weeks back.
Some additional shots of the vehicle during prep will be added later.
Papered up with the first coat of paint on.
Left to let the paint dry.
Before and...
After. Highlights were added to the rocker panels, the bumpers repainted and the wheels given a quick coat of paint. The SJ-410 logo's were given a quick coat of white paint and stuck back in place.
We even managed to save the Team Trophy Challenge 2007 sticker, as there aren't replacements available.
Since we used the base Safety Red without mixing, and we have a gallon of it and this took a little over a quart, we can re-paint as needed as I scrape paint off. Before winter we will paint the targa bar and doors along with a new windshield frame with a plexi-glass windshield from Roadless Gear.
