We cheated and got new fenders :-)

That works, I intend to patch mine. The fenders are easy to take off all considering.

Yeah, that's a good plan. When my buddy and I were looking at it, we figured it would just be easier to replace than patch. I know its the lazy way out, but I was just so excited about getting this painted, I wanted to the fastest option possible. My wife was getting annoyed that I was driving around Frankenjeep.

I too am building an 11. I just bought my jeep and am just getting started. Long road ahead. How did you do your numbers? They look great!

Hey Dking81,

I had stencils made at a local vinyl shop. We sprayed the beige first, because the ppg paint for the beige went on super thin, we didn't think we would be able to cover the red without using several coats. So once the beige was on, we placed the stencils in the position we wanted them, and then sprayed the red over them. When we took the stencils off, we had some decent numbers. There is some over spray, but over all, I love it. Good luck on your number 11. I love mine.
