akamcbird Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 fyi... smokn or tinting your tails can get you ticketed even if its not illegal... officers have the discretion to ticket anything they see as unsafe... "operating an unsafe vehicle" gotten a couple tickets that said that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 When I did mine some time ago, I removed the lights, masked the portions I wished to keep red, and sprayed the rest with semi-gloss black. After peeling the masking tape, I shot the entire thing with clear gloss enamel, which really brought out the red, whereas it was a sickly hazy red before spraying.

hokie83 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I just did this to my 89 MJ. I'll post pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tonMJ Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I was painting the whole thing, and remembering this thread, figured I'd paint them up real quick. BTW, the Krylon does get scratched, but I hose it down, rubbing with a sponge and whatever paint comes off, it comes off. Then I hit the whole truck up with about a can of paint, and it looks brand new. :yes: Almost every new person who see's my truck is like "Awesome". I got the "I didn't know there was a Jeep truck!' the other day. A lot of Vets have stopped me and asked it it was a legit military vehicle. I honestly see some fire in their eyes when I am talking to them, like they are remembering the Jeep that saved their @$$ in WW2 or Nam'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btm24 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 After having done this months and months ago the paint has chipped and faded. I do not recommend ever using any type of spray on or roll on DIY bed liner. The stuff sucks. I will be redoing this very soon. Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyinajeep726 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Because you rehashed a 3 year old thread, I found myself in the garage on this nice 85°F day masking and painting my tail lights...

ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Guess i'll throw up mine. . Right off the truck after half a year of offroading and abuse. Thoroughly cleaned, polished, and taped. I used a toothbrush and tooth pic to clean out the grooves. :D Painted with left over bedliner spray, looks Awesome, textured. But scrapes off with your fingernail. :doh: Just have to remember to remove when i go to wash the truck. No pics on truck, yet. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
