i am thinking of painting my 2002 vitara 4 door in military color such as flat green,sand,flat green and black... but i have never seen one yet.i want sumthing different and cool, and sumthing nobody has around town. i wonder if anybody can share pictures of flat color (not shiny) vitara and tracker from 1999-2005.

-
I have flat white.. but that's only because I used purple blaster to clean my paint.. ???

learning by mistakes eh ;) i did that in the past as well but it was something else. i think it was paint thinner to remove tar off my paint on a green toyota tercel. my uncle is a body man and told me it was fine as long it was a quick pass but i dint do that at all lol

ive seen a few older trackers already around town here, alot of my friends as flat (mate) color painted sidekicks/sunrunners and trackers, but 3 of us has trackers and me who has the only lifted vitara around. just looking to see these 1999-2000 model in mate/flat colors
-
found this picture today, looks very close of the color i want as well !! just a bit darker. wich i could see a full picture of it. i also found another tracker from my area but i not a fan of the fake leaves. but it still gives me an idea
-
;D finally had the guts to paint the truck tonight, i have used 6 cans of krylon spary can brand, camouflage flat olive color paint, looks decent so far, at least the silver doors are finally gone :laugh:, i still want to paint my door side molding,door handles,vitara and suzuki logo and both door side mirrors flat black to match black. now i might get rid of my roof mossy oak camouflage wrap rack as it looks out of place now.
-
here is pictures of were im at so far. still have to do the black on the door moldings,side mirrors,door handles and emblems. dont know yet what to do with the rims yet, i know they will be replaced soon but they are quite rusty, might paint them black?
-
WOW! looks real good
-
Lightly sand them then coat them with Rustoleum semi-gloss black. It is inexpensive... and when you get them scratched up.... hit them with Rustoleum again.
-
I did the same thing as nprecon, only I masked off the outer lip for contrast. Looks good on silver imo.
For the bumpers.... When the bumper covers turned white/gray from UV exposure, I sprayed them with black Raptor bedliner spray. I also sprayed the chrome grille and the side mouldings to tie it all together.

I started with gray; took longer to mask:
-
did more today, painted the rim flat black and the mirrors also, i am going to put the door handles black as well, im debating on the door molding black or leave it as it is, what you guys think? i am also gona remove the vitara emblem and use a stencil and black paint to make it look like the # on the military trucks, it will be vitara in those stencil. would be nice to add a www.zukiworld.com (http://www.zukiworld.com) banner on top of the windsheild to match it ;)
next on my list is welding the rear diff ,try to fit on 31" tires (or equivalent in 16" size) on off set rims. and intall a roof light bar. then it will be at my taste.
-
Awesome. Good job!
-
What is with all the 99+'s missing the gas door?
-
i dont know whats going on with the missing gas doors lol, i got two vitara and none got one on, and at junkyard they are all missing as well. i am looking for a replacement
-
The hinges have a way of breaking.
-
This is mine done in OD green spray on bedliner. I love it!

-

Not sure, it was on there when I bought it. It was a tow behind so maybe the original owners put it on there. It looks kind of cool though, so I left it on.
-
little update, got a very used set of 33" for nothing to see how they fit with my jeff1997 2" lift. had a bit of fender triming to the front and will do very minor to the rear. made a 1/8 thick skidplate to protect the rad from the brushes

Looks good! I may have to give that a shot. My bumpers are all faded, and it looks like crap.
