Title: $50 paint job
Post by: airmanwilliams on April 05, 2011, 01:24:43 PM

hey guys a guy on a local forum to utah here(rme4x4.com) posted this link and I thought I would share it. Im thinking of stripping my flat black rustoleum bedliner off my sami and going gloss black all over with this method.

BRD HNTR helped me with a similar project once.  :)

The more time you spend, the better you can make it look.  The only question is how much is your time worth vs spending a bit more on supplies or paying someone.

when I bought my sammi it was faded blue with the factory stripe kit. i peeled the stripes off and sanded it down for paint to stick to. I then painted with gunmetal grey duplicolor rattlecans. As most of you know the body is not real smooth on these from the factory so I left it flat to disguise it. Recently I bought 6 cans of green brown and tan camo paint and used a fern stem and a palm frond to paint it again. Looks great for a cheap low labor paint job.
