The paint is from MILSPRAY 34094 green from the military 383 scheme.....
All total up the paint was around 1800......but you can do it for 1200-1500 if you buy the right paint the first time around
I purchased some paint that turned out to be baby poo yellow......the other add ons I did was new stickers...vin, tire loading, under hood emissions...that was 200 bucks.......you can have them tape around them and supposedly it's barely noticeable.....my thought was that it's that far apart and I am spending the money anyways, 200 bucks aint gonna kill me to do it all!!!!!
I had a local body repair shop spray it, that cost me 800 even.
Check out the build thread and you'll see the extent that i pulled it apart....they literally only had to sand and spray it.
Hope that helps!!!!

true about the monster trucks........but I want to be able to say...."I'll just take the grasshopper"...or whatever it happens to be.....instead of the same old jeep....
Kind of thinking of putting the name on the side where the old rubicon sticker was......that's why I am leaning towards "MANTIS"
