Thank you everyone for the positive feedback!!

400 grit sand paper (on everything minus the inlets)
Rinsed with water
Hand washed with paint thinner
Taped off inlets with standard painters tape
2 coats of duplicolor Self-Etching Primer (wait until completely dry)
2 coats of Rust-Oleum Black Engine Enamel Paint (MUST wait until completely dry)
1 coat of Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Enamel (more of a protective seal).

PM me if you have any specific questions

Bronco Peak on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend? My parents are flying into SD for a couple days and would like to take them out on the trails with a small group. And thanks for the provocative comment!!!

Thanks for the info, I'll be going to the hardwear store this weekend. What you did looks so much better then painting them all black like others on here have done.

Can't wait to see how yours turn out.

two tips of advice:
spend 90% of your time sanding and taping
let the paint fully dry

I used 20 sheets of 400 grit sandpaper and 1 can of primer, black, and clear

Sounds good to me, We'll have to talk it over at the S&G.

very nice, like the contrast.
Funny part is my Jeep looked the same way when I added my Xenon flares before increasing wheel size. From the front it looked like a flying nun. Needless to say, the tires were quickly increased in size.
Have since removed the Xenons and am in the process of adding Poison Spyder Flares
