Hi guys, I'm just wondering how you sprayed your Jurassic park jeep
And what color paint was used and if you cleared over everything after you were done.

People have done everything from rolling on the paint, to plastidipping, to professional paint jobs. For pics and looking up people's builds, look here viewforum.php?f=20 as for paint look in this subforum viewforum.php?f=10

My red stripes were originally spray canned on. Let's just say I finally got fed up with that look and am redoing it with a spray gun.

I just bought Tremclad fire red at Home Depot to do mine until I can afford to do it properly.

that would be rustoleum for those south of the border (roll on method)

I used plastidip for my stripes/wheels/hood stamp until I can do a real spray job. (tan is paint, but its the shiney champagne, so it needs redo, all red is plastidip)
