    It isnt a bad color for a jeep. It was either transport yellow or grey for the jeep but the yellow won out :)

    I am just using the cheapie harbor frieght HVLP gun. I think it was like $30. it comes in a kit. But if you are lookngi for a gun, do get the stainless steel hopper. I got the plastic one and hate it. other than that, not much else. plenty of tape and newspaper :)

    Here are some more pics. I put the doors on and sprayed them too. So it is all comnig together. i will let it dry and do another coat tomorrow night. i went around and brushed off the stuck on bugs with my hand and they all came off easy so i am not so worried about them ruining the finish. i have a little bit of orange peel, but nothing that i can't sand down :)

    Yeah.. pink is not an option. i may do the red wheels. Hey boyink you think you can chop some red on my wheels on one of these pics? :)

    Boy that looks almost Olive in those pics.

    Here's the best I could do - those black wheels make it harder to select them vs. the tires.
