JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Just so people know, places like paintscratch.com and automotivetouchup.com sell factory paint code spray can's in a 12.5oz size for around $20. More paint, less money, just watch and see what they get you for on shipping.

And I can't remember if I posted in this thread or not, but the red looks really good!

PS: For the tweeters, I'd like to see you pop off the cover, mask the center section and hit the outer circle with red, so it looks rather like your A/C vents. I did all mine in black, wasn't a huge difference, but it's noticeable, and masking them was pretty easy, small pieces of painters tape, then an exacto to trim just inside the lip and you're done. In red it would be a much more worthwhile project, but I was bored and wanted to play with it and see. Now I'm debating on whether or not to yank the dash/door panels and paint them black or have them shipped out to have them hydrographiced black.

Nice job Odin. Looks a bit like my Sahara now. What kind of prep work did you do for the piece? And anyone who's done it, feel free to chime in on the prep.

since its sealed inside the clear plastic lens as long as you don't touch the part you are planning to paint you won't have to do any prep work. plus it's going right back in there so you don't have to worry about it scratching.atleast i didn't do any prep and i used spray paint for plastic surfaces
