Registered User | That's an ambitious undertaking my friend! I'm impressed you even wanted to take this project on. I cannot wait to see how it progresses/progressed. I'm really hoping that this is the same Jeep thats in your avatar. |

Member | Sanded everything again, then masked the outside of the tub off so I could apply the UPOL Raptor tintable bedliner. Decided on the new rescue green for the color and the subsequent raptor tint. This is my second time spraying this liner, the 1st one came out great, however I wanted a little "thicker" pattern so I backed off on the distance of the gun when I was spraying. Next baked the product on at 140 degrees for 20 min. in our blowtherm oven. |

Member | The hood that came with the jeep had a pretty decent kink in it, so I found one at the junk yard that was in decent shape, sanded, painted, cleared, and baked the hood. |
