changing the color of my H2

[Camou2]

Wow! That is an unbelievable transformation in just 4 days!

I've never seen the upper back done in black before, that looks really good. Good work!

Forgive me if your not open for suggestions, I'm big on details.

You have already painted the upper body portion of the side cargo area. -
tape off the body line below the glass, and paint that strip between the body line and window black also. It currently looks ****ed up w the hatch window line being being that much lower than the sides. It will all be seamless then.

I gotta give you points for creativity...no one has painted the cargo black like that yet. I've been on the forums for 6 years.

Thanks everyone for the complements, Thanks MUD for pointing out the bad! ha ha!


I know what your saying MUD but if Im understanding you correctly, it would look even more f'd up that way because the side "bed" , would look way too thin...there was a home made H1 kit on ebay a while back and the guy made that back part too thin....looked really bad. I was going to just add white to the bottom of the back glass but then the rear whiper will be on the white....don't know...maybe I'll just do that and remove the rear whiper.

Your basically trying to make the rear disappear. Did you vinyl the top and then paint it so you could revert back or paint over the clear coat? I'd break that window line the rear has. The sut bed trim follows what I'm saying to paint. You have vinyl on it, give it a shot black....if you hate it, peel it off.

clearcoat was sanded and then paint was sprayed on. I will take your advice and make it black below the window to the body liine. I'll post pics if I like it.
Also, I forgot to add the cost of the white grill to my expense. Add another $200...sorry,forgot to add that. Still I think it turned out pretty good for under $1000. I purchased the vinyl from Autovinylsolutions.com, and the Line-x type spray I purchased from Liner X-treeme.

Amazing transformation!

How's that vinyl hold up??

I agree with MUD.... look at the cut lines of an SUT... you need to bring that black down to just below the rear window.

Very creative... I've often thought about cutting the rear top off to convert to SUT. Like the SUT so much better.

I was trying to sell/trade mine for a while then got busy with other things. Now I have too many mods and upgrades to think about getting rid of mine.

Anyways...great job!
