Thinking something like this but a little darker with a bit of a metalic green... Haven't decided for sure yet

Hey Ian,

Sure love your job you have done so far. You used the zinc chromate as did I, but your job is much better than mine and the way you did it, will last far longer. I am most impressed and well done, sir.

The color choice is excellent as well. You mention you want it tan but darker. I've used that darker tan for the last 22 Jeep over 40 years and am quite pleased with it. I use the Cummins Diesel Tan which is a great color and last good.

And Ian, here is another shot with a more natural color blend in the Southwest Desert Commons, along the Mexican border here in southeastern NM. The afternoon light blends this well and shows the darker shade of the tan you may be after.

Hope that is helpful for a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions guys lol still wondering, roll on or spray on for the bed armour?

never used your product but roll on requires only a roller so no overspray i've used imitation rhino liner type products for bed liners and undersides of classic cars per the customers request and they all require a special spray gun and substantial air pressure. however you can spray into small spaces better than rolling.
