Homepage Poll: If you were planning to re-paint your trail rig

[SHoppe715]

I took option 2. Just knock out the dents that affect function (like mounting lights or glass or sealing weather strips) but why spend much time making it pretty. Paint is then just to keep rust at bay for vehicle longevity sake, not aesthetics. (I'm talking rattlecan.) I cringed and winced at my first few paint scrapes on the '06 but I'm pretty much over that by now. It taught me, though, that if I did painstakingly straighten, prep, and paint a rig to be showroom clean(that's assuming I had any talent in that area), I'd never want to wheel the thing.

The grizzlybeaver will eventually get shot with Gillespie military rattlecan. Pretty affordable for a DIY paint job, and really easy to touch-up. The best part is it will look authentic.
