[jimbo74]

[jimbo74]

oh yeah, and you have an addiction bro, a KRYLON addiction

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

no my paint is PPG..but that krylon stuff is cool..but it's rattle can..that i don't like

 

[bigred93explrer]

how do you get the t-handle off? I think it looks good, now i wanna paint mine.

 

[alphabets13]

looks great. i'm gonna do the same thing. i always hated armoralling that thing. and the handle for the window too.

 

[Soundguy01tx]

alphabets, just fyi... armoralling will only make it fade worse lol. I did that too for awhile, until realizing my hurt. I just sanded it down, taped it off, and rattle canned it. Althgouth I know AK LTD actually removed his so it would be a better paint job...

yes, but it was for a temporary solutuion. actually i used that "back to black" stuff more than the armorall and it's all just temporary. the first water that hits it, it's off. the back to black was better than the armorall though.

Wow....i think that the guy who had my explorer before me did that. My handels are faded bad. I think this springbreak when i'm rebuilding my hubs, replacing wheel bearings, shocks, discos's, i'll have to paint my handels..i can't wait!

As soon as you paint over the instructions on your handle, soon everyone who tries to open your tailgate will pop the window open. It happened to me so often and still does...people always turn it the wrong way no matter what they are trying to do. It's kind of frustrates me sometimes because they always try and open it before me and do it wrong.

Hell, I do that with the labels. Wow, that stuff turned out good. What did you do for the texture on the OHC. When I first saw OHC I thought you painted the cover for your motor. But I guess you have a '96 which the OHC was not avaible

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

OHC (over head consol)..i just sanded and sanded..but it's still got some texture..i kinda like it

i have the ohv 4.0 v6..that's all that was avalble when my truck was ordered..

here's a new pic

im the only one who open's the rear of my truck..and i useally use the windo anyway..window to the left.. hatch to the right..how easy can it be

 

[Redrig]

Excellent idea, excellent job.

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

thank's red..im waiting for somelse to do this..i can't be the first can i?

 

[snowburns]

yeah, people open the hatch all of the time when i ask them to only open the window....problem is when you got a TON of junk back there and it all rolls out all over the ground, you (the owner) have to pick it up cause no one else cares...grrr and thats WITH the labels, looks good though
