did not want the drop down, so I swapped around the hinges after putting the soft top on. It was pretty beat up, but it will keep stuff from falling out of the truck.

It would have looked better if I had dissembled the parts to do them individually, but I am cheap and not so concerned that it looks like a pro did it. I do not know of a spray equivalent of the poppy red. I did the body, roof sides and wheels in the almond, the roof top in white. My guess is that rolling might have looked more even and been tougher as an oil base, but that is just guessing.

Gordo said:I really like that. I did the same thing but my cheap arsh used a SW door that I already had and cut it down. Not nearly as "clean" as yours and because I cut the bottom of the door off due to rust issues, it isnt quite square now either. Nice job. Gordo
Post pics of the Sunrise Red... :victory:LRflip said:I bought Rustoleum Almond and Rustoleum Sunrise Red...
The Sunrise Red looks fairly close to a Poppy to me but just a bit brighter. I don't really expect it to turn out perfect. Im thinking the Almond will be too off for the roof. I really would like to keep it simple with doing the wheels, sides, headlight bezels, and roof almond and doing the rest of the body with the Sunrise Red. I am right in the middle of teardown to paint seperately because Im feeling pretty anal.
I have to have it all back together and running good by Nov. 5th...Considering the ease of deconstruction, I think Ill be ok.
