Getting Bolder...

Been debating this for a while, pulled out the paint gun that came w/ my air compressor and gave it a whirl. Figured if I really screwed it up, it could be sanded down and done professionally. Painted the rack to match the roof. Also, pulled out the arc welder and lowered the front bar on my gobi stealth and removed the middle bar so longer items will sit flat. I'm fairly pleased with my weekend project.

Finished product:

Re: Getting Bolder...

looks good to me, but i am kinda partial to the whole black roof thing!! set of lights up top would look pretty nice too, on the sides of the air dam maybe?

Re: Getting Bolder...

When I first read your post, I thought you painted the rack to match the roof. I had no idea you painted the roof too! Looks pretty good buddy.
