New paint on the runner

I decided about 2 weeks ago to paint the runner. I had thought about having a shop do it but I didn't want to spend the money and then scratch it up. I went with the camo job and it took most of the day but I had a little body work to do. Here are some pics. I also got a pair of Supra seats and installed them. What do you guys think?

Nice looking runner!

Looks like the guys on TRUCKS copied your idea when they painted their bronco.

Not sure. I found a guy that had a bunch of yota stuff for sale and these seats were just laying in the back of a 4runner.

What kind of paint did you use?

How did you mask off the pattern?

Dupli-color. The truck was already white so I just sanded it down and put a new coat on it. Then i just started taping off sections and making my designs with a marker. Then I cut out the design with a razor and painted. Be sure you paint from light colors to dark colors. I should have taking pics for you guys but once I got started I didn't stop til I was finished. I painted it in the driveway and the paint dried as fast as I sprayed it.

My truck is going the Same Route, Did the $50 paint Job mod and painted the truck Grey. Only differance is Im doing the Camo in Decals instead of paint.

So Michael (4 Hummer) what color scheme will you be doing? After I do the Moab Camo I will be doing the "4hummer" chop at some point this summer. LOL Brothers in Arms!

Those seats came in Celicas and Supras. I had the same exact set in my daughter's 88 Celica GT. I replaced them with another set that is very similar but not exactly the same. The originals were all worn out. I believe the mounts between the two are identical. They appear to be at least.
