Default Some updates of my Gecko :-)

Purchased some paint and decided to do a few things to my Jeep, also attached a couple pics from when we went up to Imogene Pass here in Colorado a few weeks ago.

I was very nervous how the painting would turn out, but I am extremely happy with it.

I ordered some of the OEM paint from the dealership, cleaned the plastic up and sprayed it on in light coats 3-4 times to make sure everything was covered. Then of course I had to really mask off the PIAA light so I could get just the PIAA letters in the same color. Was actually very easy to do. The instrument cluster comes off to where i did not have to mask anything, just sprayed it.

Yea it comes it 5 oz cans I believe it is. You can order pretty much any Jeep color from the dealer in the cans. Mine took about 2 days to get in. I attempted to order it originally from Quadratec, but after waiting 3 weeks they said it was still back ordered. Crazy.
