Considering doing this mod myself soon.

Anyone consider using the AEV spray paint?

I know it is WAY MORE EXPESIVE @ $15/Can, but I really like the look/finish of it.

Rock it out man! I measured the JK sticker and just made it 5X as large and then drew that on a piece of poster board, then I it out and laid it down on the inside

of the top (after I had sanded and cleaned it first) , and then I traced the outside of the poster board cut out with a pencil, then used painters tape and filled it in.

I used a very small and very sharp knife to trim up the edges of the tape to keep the corners and edges of the JK sharp then painted over it and let it sit over

night before I peeled it off. As you can see it's a little tedious but in the end you'll be proud of yourself!
