Re: changing the color of my H2
I've never seen the upper back done in black before, that looks really good. Good work!

Re: changing the color of my H2
Forgive me if your not open for suggestions, I'm big on details.
You have already painted the upper body portion of the side cargo area. -
tape off the body line below the glass, and paint that strip between the body line and window black also. It currently looks ****ed up w the hatch window line being being that much lower than the sides. It will all be seamless then.
I gotta give you points for creativity...no one has painted the cargo black like that yet. I've been on the forums for 6 years.

Re: changing the color of my H2
Thanks everyone for the complements, Thanks MUD for pointing out the bad!  ha ha!
I know what your saying MUD but if Im understanding you correctly, it would look even more f'd up that way because the side "bed" , would look way too thin...there was a home made H1 kit on ebay a while back and the guy made that back part too thin....looked really bad. I was going to just add white to the bottom of the back glass but then the rear whiper will be on the white....don't know...maybe I'll just do that and remove the rear whiper. |

Re: changing the color of my H2
Your basically trying to make the rear disappear. Did you vinyl the top and then paint it so you could revert back or paint over the clear coat? I'd break that window line the rear has. The sut bed trim follows what I'm saying to paint. You have vinyl on it, give it a shot black....if you hate it, peel it off.  |

Re: changing the color of my H2
clearcoat was sanded and then paint was sprayed on. I will take your advice and make it black below the window to the body liine. I'll post pics if I like it.
Also, I forgot to add the cost of the white grill to my expense. Add another $200...sorry,forgot to add that. Still I think it turned out pretty good for under $1000. I purchased the vinyl from Autovinylsolutions.com, and the Line-x type spray I purchased from Liner X-treeme.
