Now that looks really good. Any more photos?

I thought about painting my ARBs silver, and I may when they need to be refinished, but I just put them on in the standard red.

I got my Riddlers ordered tonight. I found a Thanksgiving sale and was able to save a few bucks and free shipping!

So, to paint them; clean them up with some acetone. Prime them and then paint them with a good paint. Is there an easy way to paint the graphic? Like, I'm painting the covers black and was thinking of painting the graphic white. Just looking for tips.

Thanks in advance.

-Bob

I just painted it by hand. I sprayed black paint into a paper cup and dipped a small brush into the paint (the Riddler logo is raised).

I primed the covers then painted them entirely black. Then I took my palm sander to the logo to make it bare again and hit it with clear coat when I was done with the sanding.

Have them front and back on my rubi. They are worth it. nailed them a couple of times and no issues. Just use a good bead of silicon.

According to my build sheet, I have:

Next Gen. Dana 30 Solid Front Axle
4.10 Axle Ratio
Next Gen. Dana 44 HD Rear Axle

Mine is an '07 X Unlimited Auto.

I think they produced SOME 2-door JKs with the D35 but I think they changed that?
