Just needed to share a successful (economical) flat black finish on our Jeep Rubicons. After looking at REAL Jeeps, it became apparent to me that what need to be done was: paint the inside (black) and sandblast the outside. This could NOT have turned out better; looks like the REAL thing! As I mentioned I purchased a "touch-up" sandblaster from Harbor Freight ($8) and a jar of Glass Beads (media) ($6) - which was enough to do both Jeeps. Masked off the (gloss) painted areas of the Jeep (rubber sandblast mask) and blasted the top, fenders & bumpers - leaving the tough Lexan matte. Thus it can be beat up a bit with no worries of paint scratchige. The finished projects can be seen here.
This is fun!!!
