Added some bling today

[upcruiser]

Well kind of. I had to order a new plate for the Cruiser since it was off the highway for so long, the old plate was taken "off the system." First vanity plate I've ever ordered and I thought it was appropriate considering how much I travel for both work and pleasure. I also blacked out the center of the hood as well. I've been wanting to do this for awhile and finally got around to it. Mostly it was an effort to cover up all of the stone chips I was getting on the front edge of my hood. I think it turned out pretty good. Its a bit tough to tell from the pics but here it is.

Next project, building screen windows for my back sliders.

Looks great!
What did you use to blacken the center hood? Is that the handle of a paint roller - bottom right corner.

[upcruiser]

Ha ha, good eye! Yeah, I masked it off then used a small roller and black rustoleum in satin black. Before I laid the paint on I lightly sanded the surface.

Looks great!! I have always liked the blacked out hoods, even if it is more a LR thing...

Whats the story behind the front one?

I go to Chile every August and have made some good friends down there. Not really much of a story behind the plate other then one of my friends from down there gave me it. It also represents my dream of doing a trek from North America down to southern Chile
