Re: fresh paint on the burb

i planned on buting 2 auto loc kits. putting the front doors on remote and the two rear doors on a button on the dash or something. i didnt do the tailgate yet, my shop closed down and i had to prematurley paint the truck. i havent figured out what to do about the tailgate handle cause i dont want to have to get in and turn the key on to throw some groceries in the back.

Re: fresh paint on the burb

That looks really good. How much paint did you use and how many coats?

Re: fresh paint on the burb

i hope to have it done by summer but well see how the money works out. i used rm paint . the color was real transparent so i used my own concoction of silver to cover it first then i finished with the right col0or. all in all about 7 coats of base and 3 coats of clear.

Old post but you can remote open your back window. Auto Loc should have been able to tell you that... I went to their old shop, not the new one but they were super nice and very helpfull!

I just IM'd you my email so if you have any questions I'm more than happy to help.
