I've been putting off installing my Hotheads for months because I first wanted to paint the white to compliment them. Here's the first panel done next to an unfinished panel. The paint I chose is Rustoleum Camoflage Khaki, a very matte finish. Durability TBD, but if it is an issue, I'll put a coat of matte clear over it -- probably Spraymax 2K matte.

Nice man, show us the end result too of the whole cab if you can.
Finally gotter done. I've had the fronts done for over 3 weeks and already saw some scratches, so I ordered the Spraymax 2K Clear Matte. I've used the 2K gloss clear coat over automotive paint and it's tough stuff. It's a 2 part paint and pretty nasty so you've got to be careful with it.

I'm going to enjoy the top off for a while, so I'll post photos of it installed at a later date.

That looks great! Much better then the standard white, really goes with the headliner well.

I don't know if this qualifies as "TO your Gladiator" but "WITH" didn't seem right either. Built a storage shelf for the top today. Takes two people, it's not an easy one person pull on the pulley and it's off but, for about $30 in material and my wife helping anytime I want to take the top off, I'm happy with it.

Roll-Up Tonneau Cover (Access LiteRider) that fits under the half-rack system.

Not the easiest install...few tweak needed...but pretty happy with it.

I really wanted the low profile but they told me it would not work with the trail rail system. To bad...really just a hardware issue on their side.

Rack is from JCL...

Wow dude this looks great. Would this work with the factory soft cover ? No drilling ?

Added a 1.5" leveling kit to balance out the factory rake + the added weight of a steel bumper and winch. Still have the Rock Hard full aluminum belly skid coming. We"ll have see how it sits after that install.

Installed two new NMO brackets and ran some cable... one because my wheeling crew is on GMRS and the 25% off midland was enough to get a mounted radio, and the other because that it'll probably be fine antenna for my dual bander wasn't actually fine and actually gouged my paint when it caught a tree and bent the shit out of the mount. Shit happens but it'll be a compactenna this time around so it doesn't happen again.

The stars always lead the way. Take it as if it's attached to a pole and running forward.
And don't feel bad about asking, my American sister in law asked the same question about mine.
It's all good, not everyone knows. Most people are used to only seeing it one way.
Thanks! I had totally never noticed that before. I feel slightly more learned today. I will have to ask my (almost) ex-wife if she knows this as she is American.
