This poor guy is also having a rough 2020 ....

First, he's chased by a T-Rex and now abducted by aliens!

Did you blackout your red reflectors? If so, how? Thx!
@Mikeyut3

You can actually buy smoked/dark to replace those two reflectors. Most guys have to pull the bumper to install them though. Alternative to that and way way less expensive is to just plasti-dip them black. Easy to do and takes little time. Geeeez, I even plasti-dipped by NYS, EZpass.. 8-)

Now to take out garbage stock jack.
@Mikeyut3

Careful there.. DO, double check that when you use that jack, that it gets your JL up high enough to do the deed ??????

It looks like the bolt attaching your coyote mirror bracket is rusting.

So where's the pic? And what will you have written across side of your Jeep in Japanese characters?

I haven’t decided if I will do a character again. When I had my JKU, I actually put my last name in Chinese as a decal on each side (my old dog, Connor is either very proud of the Jeep or just making fun of my eyes :CWL: :facepalm:).

Took a leap of faith today.
On my 2020 Rubicon the only thing that is gloss black is the grill.
All the other black articles are matte.
I could either have it sprayed or buy a new mopar satin grill.
I was willing to sacrifice this grill if I messed up.
But I like it so far.
Chrysler uses a very hard clear coat so I decided to try something new.
Step one .
Purchase 4 grades of steel wool,
Zero through 4 zero.
Tape of white so as not to touch.
Start with zero wool and lightly start Omni direction degradation of gloss black. That took about 90 minutes of elbow grease.
Next up repeat with double zero.
I used a leaf blower to continually clean powdered clear coat off.
Double zero took about an hour.
All this without removing grill from car.
Had other errands to make today so I will finish the next stages next weekend.
When complete I plan on spraying with clear matte acrylic.
The details of running steel wool over the grey inserts were fine as the paint took the abrasion and the resin inserts were not affected.
Here’s some pics thus far.
Will post again after I spray.
