1st gen 4runner (how to be seen on the road)

I'm gonna call it Eye Rape Green! It looks sweet in person. A big change from the gunmetal grey .

Thanks! It looks way better in person. There was a lot of haze in the garage from clearing the wheels.

Looks awsome. Did you paint it yourself!?
What's a paint job like that cost?

Could wrap that truck easy. The panels are super narrow. Could change the color every 6 months as easy as that truck would be.

I painted it myself. I spent around 400 to paint it . I thought about a wrap but wanted something more glossy. I'll take a picture this weekend in the sun ,it looks sweet in the sun.

I did the diamond plate myself. It wasn't to hard mark with sharpie , use a metal blade on a Sabre saw and cut. Use oil to make cutting easier then silicone in place and pop rivets
