i want to do this mod this week since those are the only things that arent blacked out on my jeep and i was wondering what kind of paint is the best to do so?

 

Just remove the oversized chrome jeep lettering
Take the doors off and you don't need to worry about the keyholes either

 

Lol! Doesn't get much easier than that.
I did the Rustoleum bedliner on my grill but I laid 2 coats of the Rustoleum for plastic first. As for my headlight bezels, I sanded and shot those with textured black Rustoleum for metal, and finished the same bedliner spray.

 

lol, i like where your heads at. im debating on whether or not im going to paint the chrome jeep black or just keep them off completely.

 

I'm about to do this mod as well. I got a can of the black AEV and am going to try it. (It will match my black Savegres)

I'm also debating debadging the front as well.

 

Let us know how it goes. I want to paint my keyholes too but I'm in the same pickle.

 

I found some ACE paint that was labeled as lacquer paint and is ultra-hard. After priming and three coats of paint it was amazingly hard. Dropped the part in the ground by accident and there wasn't a scratch. It does have a high gloss finish though.

I think the "hammered" paint is supposed to be the most scratch resistant.

 

I used the rattle can version of plasti-kote for my antenna and emblem. Stuff works well, it's rubberized since it's a tool handle coating, and has a textured matte finish. Most guys just bedline them like everything else. Find a coating option you like and go for it.

 

i did the mod today and i think it looks so much better than the chrome!
