Yeah so this is happening, soon. But instead of with rollers, I rented a spray booth.

Taking the chrome bits in to the u-blast as soon as I find a solution for the wheels... I need black wheels and mine are sturdy steel Toyo wheels with nice chrome finish.

Yes in fact that is pretty much what we're going for. The other photo of him on the beach is our desktop wallpaper. :-)

For all my military coloured vehicles I always bought my supplies at qualichem in burnaby, they have all the different military colours available by the gallon or in rattle cans. qualichem.ca under paint then under camouflage. It's been a few years but they were very helpful when I purchased paint there on many an occasion, I don't even want to count the amount of vehicles that I've had in various olive drabs or desert camo colours, lol. Good times!!

I am actually going to paint it with automotive paint in a professional booth. But that is a great link as I know about that product but had not found a local supplier.

Don't get all fancy. That stuff he mentioned is cheap rattle can or shake and slap.

Hey Rich,
You settle on a product yet?
You going flat or satin finish?
I picked up a can of Krylon olive drab satin and Krylon Camo ultra-flat olive green. Probably paint my lawn mower or something small.
See if I like the finish and colour, then order a bigger can of it.
Going with the broke ass dad budget approach for sure.

Right On! 8-)
