Anybody on here do any paint and bodywork? 'Bout time I started that stuff on the old Jeep, saw some neat techniques I may try out.

I've done a bit myself, but wouldn't say that I "do paint & bodywork". My first truck was a rustbucket & i did some bondo/primer, but by the time I got it done, I blew the engine up.

I try and do something to it every year, in the six years I've had it the engine/tranny/clutch was rebuilt, rebuilt the front and rear axles and put one piece Moser shafts in the rear, lift and tires, new exhaust and smog equipement, new radiator, HO alternator, various lights - only the engine/tranny/clutch was farmed out to a shop. This year needs to be some bodywork and a paint job. How do you think she'd look zebra stripe?? ;D

Oh yeah, I've looked at those kits too. Also thought about Rhino lining the entire thing - tactical duck assault vehicle!! Would have to be shadowgrass or Max 4 if I go with camo as the license plates say DUCKBUM. But long before I ever got her I wanted one and I always wanted to paint it zebra stripe.

I almost did my Van zebra stripe for animal shows. But reconsidered when I cut out early from work to hunt. I would stick out like a sore thumb. Never be able to SNEAK into the woods. It would be really cool though. When I was in Jamaica a river tubing company had an entire fleet of hummers painted up zebra patterned. Old hummers not very comfortable to ride in but could go anywhere. You could look into the paint job department or paint it white and have black stripe decals made to go on to the white paint job. It would be cool either way.
