Looks like an awesome start. What brand did you go with?

I have used upol raptor for the last 3 years. I've tried SOOO many different brands and compositions and upol consistently performs. It is not as good in a truck bed as rhino or other thicker material. But for jeeps? It can't be beat. My Facebook page has a lot of other jeep spray projects. (360 detail - motorcycles, cars, Bedliners)

I've used the black and the tintable versions. I've top coated it while wet with clearcoat for added exterior durability. It's great stuff. I've checked my friends jeep often. He's a lifeguard. Always on the beach. He dogs his Jeep out and with a spray and a simple brush scrub it looks like new.

Here's some after shots from a few other JK's I've done and an TJ.

You do great work! Wanting to pull the trigger on this myself. I've got the dar dark green so I can't decide to tint it or just go black.

Thanks! In my experience tinting is good if you're tinting dark. Light colors get too dirty and look great when you're done but after use it just looks filthy. I've tinted dark grey to match interior as well you can so tint the too coat a different color for that garage floor look.

Also decide if you want door sills or not.

Looks great!!! Does this help with heat coming from under the jeep?

I've tan jeeps with bare tubs. Very hot. I've tan 2-3 with raptor liner. Not as hot as bare metal but I wouldn't drive around barefoot with it. I fact I highly recommend rubber fitted mats for sound, heat and it's easier to dump all the dirt out of the mats than to soak and vac the interior. Raptor cleans up very well though.
