Mojave orange mods

[b-roc]

Mulled it over some more...
I'm worried the wax will interfere with the paint.
I went and studied that part a little closer too.
The white parts are very shallow, so I see what you mean.
I wonder if I could paint the part orange, then redo the white easier?
if you used a rubber (not foam or fluffy) roller to apply some sort of masking over the orange, you could spray white to fill in the etching.
Some thing like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Jasco-1-Qt-Liquid-Mask-and-Peel-QJMS300/315144796

applied with something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Length-Rubber-Roller-Brayer-Stamping/dp/B07H8T38RV?th=1

The etchings might be too detailed though.

I got pretty excited when I saw the test piece.
I don't care so much about that button but the red switch really bothers me :p

If the wax (or mold release) were to work, I think that I would first melt it and then scrape away with a razorblade.

For masking the red first, getting something thick enough to not flow into the white but to still allow for the detail will be the trick.

I am tempted to see it acetone will attack the plastic (white) ... with minimal impact to the red paint

I am right there with you about the button vs the locker switch panel - the button was just an easier and lower risk thing to start with.

I posted this elsewhere on the site, but I wrapped my grab handles with orange jump cord.

Love the orange 550 cord

Found a guy that does vinyl KC stickers to go over the yellow. The orange is slightly off but only to a picky eye

I do these as well and have a bit darker orange iof anyone else needs/wants. Looks good the way you have it too!

This is awesome. Color match isn't too bad, the more neon color makes the orange on the letters pop more.

How close is the match you have to the Mojave orange, the difference is going to eat at me

I love this. You have a technique? How do you finish the wrap? A special knot? Melt the cord?

This “over the top” Mojave is sitting at a local dealer near me. I told them it would sell faster if they took some of the shit off it.

To each their own but, wow! At some point the accents are supposed to be accents. Ugggh.

@JWGladiator go with @darksidedesign for your grab handles if you want paracord. They are thick, stout and well made.

I got mine from him and they are awesome!

I added these two grill orange outlines from :

I like the minimal look to them.

Just Google "rope whipping knot"
There are plenty of diagrams

The latest orange mod...................
I'll keep it until Mopar releases the CAI for these.

Any details about the lights?
