That does look really nice, good work. I'll be painting mine this summer. If it turns out half that nice I'll be happy.

 

[QUOTE=AustinTaco;51068350]My friend bought my 89 4runner and did this to it:



I actually used your pics of this runner to help me layout my pattern, Thanks


Trust me the yellow will be gone as soon as possible infact im going to work on it right now.

Thanks everyone. I really wasnt sure if I was going the right direction with this. when I was demasking it, I thought oh no what have I done. Then I stood back to take a picture, now I cant stop looking at it. I believe this paint really sums up my ideas for just about everything I do, I enjoy paying respect to things from the past but always try to include my own little twist.

 

Thats not the KOTH weekend is it..? Grr, Im working saturday, and sunday im heading to victorville to weld my sliders on, or else Id totally be down !!

 

I LOVE that paint scheme. Can't wait to see the finished product

 

Yeah the race is on friday we will be there saturday. we will also be doing another trip to calico in april. Too bad you cant make it this weekend, hopefully johnson valley will still be open next year for the race.

 

[QUOTE=hooligan750;51068817]What kind of sliders are those? Love them. Goodness.

 

I believe AustinTaco said his buddy did all the tube work himself. so it looks like they are custom.

 

Very nice can't wait to see finished pics.

 

Yeah, Cam owns Krawltex here in Austin and he designed the sliders, and the front and rear bumpers. He's really good with custom tube work. He added the side and corner protection to my 84, and then did the same style when he made his stuff.
I have hit the corners and the sliders on some rocks and they have not bent....yet.

 

tried to add a pic, but I did the quick reply feature:

looks tight! cant wait to see it fully painted!

what did u use to paint by sections? cardboard and tape? orrr..

 

I used green 3m masking tape and a roll of masking paper. I masked out my pattern with 1/4 inch tape then used the paper and some 3/4 tape to cover the areas i didnt want painted. I have used news paper in the past but have had issues with the paint bleeding throught the news paper so this time I used the masking paper from a local body shop supply store, but i believe I saw some at walmart.

 

When do we get to see the finished product?! And when can you come do mine?

Btw, what colors did you use? I'm seriously thinking about doing the same on my truck or something similar. It just looks so darn amazing. . .

And I'd love to have that slider/rear bumper combo!!!

 

Im hoping to have it finished this week Im going to johnson valley saturday and would like to have it done by then.
The colors I used are the Krylon Camouflage olive, Kahki, Brown, and Black

Im sure if you call KrawlTex they can hook you up with a set of sliders and bumpers

 

thanks

 

I unfortunately didnt get the paint done this weekend due to some minor mechanical issues I had to take care of. But we did end up going to Cougar Buttes for some much needed crawlin. The wheather was beautiful. Heres a few pics.



A buddys 84

a coworkers heep


and of course its a good thing I brought my Jeep recovery system



Its a good thing its only spray paint, time for some touch up

 

DOOOODDD !! WE NEED TO WHEEL !!!

 

Haha, I like the trail rash look

 

I like it too but I was atleast hoping to get my whole truck painted before i started destroying it. It was just one of those situations where you have to make a decision, Do I go back? or Do I push through? Obviously you see my decision, But why did it have to be the good side first?

 

That is a great paint job. Good luck on finishing it.
