Thanks Corey, and yeah, it's a mix between Army Green and Olive green. It's a matte/flat color but I added a Top coat to protect it from UV light, and that gives it a pretty cool sparkle while still being flat. Here's a couple other pics of it in the sun, not sure if this helps or not.

Hell yeah!!! There's room in here for your wife and kid but I think your gonna have to follow on foot or something thought, but don't worry...I'll take care of your family!!

You need something like this for your crazy Colorado weather you've been having! Put a snorkel on this thing and drive through those flooded out streets and creeks.

I think I must have a fear of being Normal.
But yeah, just trying to be different. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't but it worked out on these two vehicles I think!

Yes on some, and No on others.

Such as the sliding door was done all the way up to the Van floor on the inside, everything was done with no exceptions. Pop the hood and the underneath side of the hood was also done as were the front fenders up until the curl back into the engine bay. However on the two front doors and the two rear doors, they taped it off about a half inch into the inside.
They didn't take the doors off either so none of the hinges were done (which is probably a good thing) and the areas around them are clean as well. If I get around to it I'll post some pics of the door jams.

People keep touching my Van, doesn't matter if I'm in it or if I just happened to look back at it in the parking lot but people will walk up to it and pet it as if it's an animal. Lol
It's a bit weird when they look right at me when I'm sitting in the drivers seat and proceed to pet it as someone did when I was in a Drive thru... I need train horns again!

Snapped a couple pics, you can see where they did go pretty far in and other places where they taped it off.

Sliding door is done all the way, even inside where the step up is...

I had train horns like 6-7 years ago on my CCSB and it was fun for sure.
