I was going to go an Olive Drab green, but the problem with the olive drab color that Krylon sells is that it's an ultra flat paint. So the 1st time you get it dirty it's hard to clean, and looks like crap about 6 months down the road. A local club member used that color and it looked awesome for about a month and meow looks like crap.

So I decided to go with a color very close to drab, but in a satin finish instead. I think (hope) that it will be able to be washed with a bit better results. It's not quite OD green, but it's close enough for me, and hopefully it will look better longer than the OD does.

I got it from WalMart...

I can't give a good answer as I upgraded my cooling system (http://jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391636) at the same time I installed the vents. Between the 2 I've noticed a huge difference though.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

yeah i just buy rustoleum and pour it in my paint gun it seems to stick better then spray paint for some reason

I really like the look of them. Only thing I'm worried about is water getting through them and onto anything important. Would like to do this in the future though.

looks great

if you are having cooling problems, fix what's wrong with your cooling system.

if you want to lower underhood temps, install hood vents
