changing the color of my H2

[snmazer]

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!

The website where I purchased the vinyl (autovinylsolutions.com) states it has a 10 year durability rating. The vinyl is specifically made for vehicle wrapping. check out you tube, there are a bunch of videos showing installation on various vehicles.

I was all set to NOT like the outcome when you were initially describing it...before the pics...but I have to say, that's a pretty amazing transformation for 4 days. I even kinda like where you went with the black on the back thing.



EDIT: The stuff would be great body protection for those who off-road, but don't wanna scratch up their paint job...
