Jeep Hurricane Power Wheels Build Thread

[CHOO CHOO]

So i decided to repaint my lil boys jeep power wheels to match the gf's jeep. This was a fun little project to pass the time and pretty cheap too.

Tools i used

Phillips head screw driver
Blaze color plastidip (4 cans)
Plastidip glossifier ( 1 can)
Small flat head screw driver
Tape

This project is already done so i will make this kinda brief and not too explanitory

Every screw in this power wheels is the same length and size except two screws that hold the radio in.

Complete teardown of body and all paintable pieces.
Washed and degreased as much as possible.
Main body painted and one coat of gloss, but still a few pieces left.

Deciding on whether or not i should install a headlight but not sure what to use (nothing expensive)

These are with 3 coats of dip and not completely dry yet.

I should have everything assembled tomorrow. There are a few pieces i cant decide if i want to paint yet. So it might get partially disassembled again if i decide to paint them black.

Just finished painting the jeep hurricane. All pieces have 4 coats of blaze plastidip, and one coat of glossifier. Here is a comparison of having the glossifier or not.

So finished putting the jeep hurricane back together and let the little boy take it for a spin. A few minor things i missed and not sure about yet (painting caps on rims blue and getting rid of the grey and going blue and black trim). But here it is

Awesome!
ebay some cheap plastic 4" (or whatever size the hole is on the jeep) fog lights and use some low lumen cheap Led's in them, for the headlights.
A elcheapo 12" red led strip from ebay could be chopped up to work as brake lights and will fit behind those red lenses easily.

Yeah i want to do headlights of some sort. Tails would be good too. Dont wanna go crazy, as this is just a junker power wheels. The nicest one i have though!

 

[ezdaar]

come on daaadddd! go crazy with it.
install Led strobes and under body kit, go wild on that thing.
Leds are cheap, and kids grinning from ear to ear playing with awesome toys is priceless.

lol install a small air horn on it, to piss the neighbors off and scare cats and dogs!

Use this to turn the noisemaker off iff needed
