Jurassic Park Jeep Forum

Hmm, I'm very particular (as most are) about proper placement of stripes and numbers. I wonder if I could mask it off and have a shop paint it - and how much it would cost.

That's good to know, thanks! I'm afraid I'm still gonna have to search for a better paint company, though. I love the Ford Performance Red color, but this picture shows more clearly how rough the pint comes out compared to Rustoleum, which despite being a higher quality paint, is not quite the right...

I only want to paint this Jeep once, so I want to do it right the first time. As such, I've been experimenting with paints on a steel plate I had siting around in the garage. The top is Light Champagne Metallic from TouchUpDirect.com with the gloss clear coat they supplied with the paint. I know the...

I'm just going to add red to the champagne. I know it's not accurate, but I'll accept what's essentially just the wrong finish to save myself days worth of work or thousands of dollars.

I was able to work it out with the original company, but they are only filling this one order before going back to their "distributors only" policy. That means once these 46 are gone, that's it!

I remember during my failed Explorer build, I got 5 wheels from a junkyard for the price of one newly manufactured wheel (but I didn't have to pay shipping that time. There aren't a whole lot of junkyards where I am, and what I did see was already picked clean. Thanks for the tip on refinishing the ...

Was that a "holy bananas, that's expensive!" or "holy bananas, that's cheap!"? I know other people have gotten theirs cheaper, but it seems like that's a matter of luck and timing.

Parts parts parts! I finally received my fourth wheel in the mail today. I tried the local junkyard, but all the Jeeps (Cherokee and Wrangler alike) were picked clean. No matter - I got these for about $60 apiece. They're not pretty, true, but since I'm just gonna get them sandblasted and painted an...

There's been a hiccup with the embroidery company. After producing a proof, they're now saying they don't take orders for end users - only for distributors. I don't know why they led me along and made a proof at their expense, but here we are. I'll try to work it out with them, but if we can't come ...
