Step 1Take apart as much of the Jeep as you can. Everything is held together with screws so it's easy to disassemble.
-
Step 2Peel off the old stickers and decals. Some came off perfectly and others were a major pain. I used Goo Gone and a razor blade to help remove the difficult ones.
-
Step 3Give the entire Jeep and it's parts a good cleaning with warm water and soap so the spray paint adheres well. Ours was filthy!
-
Step 4Once everything was dry I covered the wheels with plastic grocery bags to protect them from the green spray paint. I started with the green paint on the body and began painting the Jeep upside down. I did several light coats of spray paint over all the pieces. When it was time for the wheels I used a piece of cardboard to protect the Jeep from over spray. I didn't spray the entire tire, just the white wheels.

Step 5
Once the spray paint has dried, reassemble the Jeep. I waited to spray the Jeep down with the matte clear coat until it was fully reassembled.
-
Step 6After the clear coat has dried, place your new vinyl decals and replacement stickers. Now go grab your little one because you're done!
