all I know mate enamel is really tough stuff as for chipping unless its rock hits I dont think it will peel off

 

[Cobez]

Enamel works fine for grilles and mirrors as long as you prep the surface properley as you know. Light sand to roughen up the surface, good clean with prepsol or similar, then nice even dry coats.

I even go to the extreme of around 8 coats just to make sure. Hasnt let me down yet.

The only recovery gear that I've ever heard of with a good paint job is the stuff that hasn't been used yet. Be proud of yours!

Hopefully never needed to be used

Looks great with all the piping and braided hoses mate!

You blokes should black out the headlights. That way cops with infra-red speed guns would never get a reflection of the thing.

Fully cloaked

Could the 'ST' be short for "STealth" or "Stealth Tactical" ? I know the X in mine represents the tread patterns I leave behind when I'm trying to do any sort of 4WDing.

Right next to the 'N A V A R A' on the tailgate you should add a 'N I N J A' in red. I wonder how many people will stop you at the lights and ask where you got it from - and how many Google searches for the term "Navara Ninja" happen!

 

[4BYFOR]

hahahaha you could be on to something there mate!

 

[Cobez]

Beats chrome though. I ****ing hate chrome. Looks shithouse.

 

[4BYFOR]
