While not as awesome as Moby/Nemo/Rubicat or GCM2's sick rig, this is my little work in progress (It'll hopefully grow up to be like your guys' rigs :clap2: )...

At home from the dealer:

A few weeks ago at EJS:

Painting the fenders and bumpers made a HUGE difference. :thumb:

 

[Philip *AZ*]

Its made specifically for plastic. I used Duplicolor Semi Gloss on the wheels.

Philip,
Do you remove the fenders and bumpers to paint them or did you leave them on?

Sweet! I'm very interested in this because every time my fenders get dirty with mud or whatever, it's hard as heck to clean them. It's kinda like mud stains them. Did painting them make it a lot easier to clean them?

 

[Philip *AZ*]

Im going to PM you Chief.
