Uberoo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The Paint on my 84 brat is ************e so I was thinking of something better.How is this?The green is dark green and the dark grey is supposed to be flat black.the pic doesnt show future lift and it doesnt show my 102" whip antenna.bear with me.it saved low quality so areas that are green are just a solid color not camo,same with flat black.note this is not my brat. I call it subi roadwarrior. also there is a snorkel on the passenger side A pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjo Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 i say clear coat!!! get a flap-disc (or 20) from your hardware store, throw it on your angle grinder, and have at it then clearcoat the piss out of it THAT would be HOTT sooooo shiney......

75subie Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 i agree, the clear coat would be nifty:brow: almost too cool:cool: but if you miss a spot of bare metal, it will rust to crap in no time.....also if you already have rust, its tough to cover up bondo with clear;) the green makes it look like a beast, but its up to you what you want your car to look like. either way, i think its bad treatment for a brat seeing how rare and valuable they are.

Uberoo Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 My brat is silver right now.only problem is rust has went through the silver in some spots,partically the bed and fenders.About how much bed liner do I need to line the bed,from bottom to top rail,front to back? also what do you think of my idea for the tree protection for the front?

I'd say a gallon of herculiner should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7point62fmj Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Not to hi-jack.. but you you really think just on gallon of herculiner would work? I am in process of doing that this week and it only covers 60 square feet a gallon..Is that really enough to do the bed and the brat. I am thinking 2 1/2 gallons... sorry for the hi-jack but if it helps there is some one who has a forrest green brat on the photo side. They are rallying it in the pic. I have the pic on my jump drive let me find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I second the truck bedliner idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 well, a kit comes with 1 gallon of herculiner, and it says that is enough to do a standard 6 foot truck bed. If you have to, buy a gallon and a extra quart. That would definatly be enough, because that works with a 8 foot bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 yea that seems about right, because i bought a quart, and i still had some left over after i did a 14" strip at the bottem of my car all the way around.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'd say go with the paint. If you were to take it to bare metal and clear it, the clear wouldn't adhere properly and would soon lift. You must at least have DTM etching primer on bare metal and then sealer for clear to adhere properly. I had that idea and soon found it wouldn't work.
