Here are the complete paint pictures. It has a good amuont of airbrush work with some gear designs throughout the paint.

Rigid Industries really stepped it up on this one, I couldn't be happier.

It goes back to Rigid on Monday to have my stereo installed, red led lighting, and I am waiting on my LED light bars to try out. I also have some more billet to add around the dash area.

In March, I am going to order a new set of carbon fiber style seats for the front and rear.

Here are the pics so far.

NICE!!!

Looks awesome. Now you can't drive it or it will get scratched and dirty....

I love the paint. It looks awesome.

NICE

sweet ride!!

Very nice!

how many coats of clear??

beautiful

Looks Bada$$
Did you trim the rear fenders? Do they use a cover over the tailgate?

Very nice

Thanks guys..

To answer a couple of questions...

2 coats of clear

Tailgate is a stock one sanded down. I dont like the look of the aftermarket covers. No, the fenders did not get a trim. There is no rubbing with the 25s and this kit.

Thanks again and I have an enclosure for a pair of components 6.5" speakers that I am running as well. It will mount at the rear of the cage and is made of light weight composite with a chrome finish and weighs about 2 pounds without speakers. It should look really trick all done. The enclosure will hit the market in April. I got the first 1.

very nice i like the look of the half doors

One of the nicest I have seen

Wow.. whats somethin like that cost?

VERY NICE PAINT!! PROBABLY THE NICEST I HAVE SEEN!!

One of the baddest out there for sure!!!

Frank

Wow, that looks great! I could never have something of that nature that looks that good, I'd be afraid to drive it!


Steve

best paint yet!

Damn, thanks guys for the nice comments!!!

Here are a few more. The empty spot on the dash is getting a stereo and billet stereo face cover.

Thats the gnarlest tribal I think I've ever seen. Where are you getting the LED's from and what's the part #?

Pretty. I would be affraid to take it off roading.

Are you talking about the light bar or red accent LEDs?

If you are talking about hte light bar, no part # yet and Rigid will have them first to ship come March 1.

Very nice! Love all the detail, I don't think anybody will be able to copy you on this one. Nice work.

Great paint I am looking at getting buggy painted. Ballpark on what it cost $$$

Thanks

I dont think someone else is going to want to pay for one like this

Thanks!

Anywhere between $4000-$4500. Depends on what you have done. I had this one double cleared, and with the airbrush work, it was higher. You get rid of the airbrush work and double clear and you save a little bit. Also, if you dont have so much overlapping stuff, it saves some $$ too.

EDIT: I also had a rendering done with a general direction of what I wanted for my painter. That was another $300, but I gave that to my painter and told him to just use that as a guideline and he stepped it up on it as well. That was money well spent because I knew what the direction of the painter would be, I just let him take it to another level. Here is a copy of the rendering.

That thing is bad a$$

Very, very nice.

^^^
Thanks guys!

Both. I have seen the rear LED'S with the clear cover. Are those the ones your getting?

No, I am getting a set that lights up the bottom of the Rhino, such as the billet long travel. It will all glow red at night.

Boatguy,,,,,heard you sold the boat to have a kid??

What? Who said that? I am interested to know.

I sold the boat because due to the poker run accidents with cats this last year, I am anticipating that the market is going to take a hit, especially in the insurance industry, and I really dont want to pay $8k per year for insurace. My boat was $6k per year and I was sick of $500/month for ins on it. Not only that, if you look at my track record, you see I change things up a bit often.

Yes, my wife is pregnant, but the last time she was pregnant, I purchased a 34' cat without even selling my 29' Wizard, so no, it has nothing to do with it. I'll be buying a bigger boat this year (probably a 37' Formula SS), maybe next week if I can come to terms with the guy.

If it wasn't talking smack.... I am thinking about taking a year off because my wife is due in June, and we always boat together, never any guy trips or anything like that. So, she wont want to hit the lake 8 months pregnant and she has to do a c-section which puts her out 6 weeks. That takes us to August before she will start to be feeling better, but cant overdo it, so maybe use it 1-2 times from August-September. Come October, then we could use it. Dont see how it makes much sense to buy one right now, however, if the right boat is there, I will make a move on it, like the one I might try to get next week. Regardless, I dont need a boat until October, or even next January.

Blah blah blah!!!!! Just admit you're getting old


So now that the Rhino is done are you actually going to dune it or just grandpa cruise to the hill on sandhighway with 4 hour stops at the KMS tent...then get to the hill run up and down a few times and then put back to camp....? You drive slower than my wife

j/k Michael the Rhino looks sick and will be a real head turner at the shows like you wanted.

You ballers make me laugh.

Well, your wife has a nice Rhino. Hope you didn't get in trouble too much for being late everytime we came back. "Honey, baby, sweetie.... can I take your Rhiono for a ride with my friends?"

Oh, and thanks!

Mock!!!!

One more thing... Those stops were driving me nuts after the first day.

Remember, you utilized a stop there for a few hours as well!

Yeah but it was on the way back from the hill not on the way out

So did I tell you about the 800 Rotax Rhino in the works.....100 to 120 HP in a two seater ?????

Well even though I am a newby poster on this site, I met you a year ago or so at Pleasant. Ernie at Sleek was my roommate. So I hit him up today and asked if you sold your boat (I remember your name from meeting you and your wife and her sister). Anyhow I know how the bills can add up espically with a 34 foot or any boat for that matter.

Heck Barett Jackson is this weekend change some things up and buy a vintage rodster!!!!

Anyhow for that matter the Rhino looks good. I am sure I will run into you at the dunes

C. Wattier

Yeah right... You cant hide that much $$ in your sock from the wife.

Good ol Erine!!! Good guy. He knows why I sold it... The same reason the sales are down everywhere else... Cant get insurance for cats.

So were you one of the ones who took those chicks off the houseboat? That chick's husband got all bent out of shape on the deal. Duke was there that weekend as well.

Well since she won't let me drive HER Rhino anymore.....I need one of my own She's all for it now. If I can keep it under $15k I'll be ok....after that and I'll have to start hiding it.....

Now all I need is the wrecked 450 Rhino.......hopefully there will be a few used/crashed ones for sale at the end of the season. I've got the snowmobile waiting....just need to start cutting and welding.....220....221.....whatever it takes

I would do a Busa powered mini rail (2 seater) for $20k if I already had the Rhino and I wanted a 2 seater. But then, that is why you want the Rhino, it is smaller. Just like your boat.

LOL!!!!!!!!! Mr. Mom. That fits you perfect.

Thanks for picking that up.......

Its not bad....I hear there is a guy in your neighborhood that has one that looks better? Could I be wrong.

That old man has nothing on me!!!
