Default Painted my elements enclosures

I finally got around to painting these dudes this weekend. So far I used 5 cans of primer, and 10 cans of paint. I have a little polishing to do, and I might slap on another coat and some clearcoat, but I'll see how it buffs out.





Not too bad for a redneck with a spray can in his yard, eh?

They are the Rugged Ridge ones, although they seem to be exactly the same as some of the other brands I have seen. (Seat Glovers) They were about half the cost of the Wet Okoles ($240 for all 4), but were also half the quality with some really poor stitching. When they wear out, I'll probably spend the bucks for some Okoles.

yeah... it looks wierd, but i don't think they had a choice. the striker plate is in a different location on the back, i think.
