Reflection on painting

First off, many thanks to everyone who chimed in on my "thoughts on painting" thread. All of the advice/input was much appreciated. That said, I thought I'd post some before and after pics of the jeep.

Before photos-the day I brought the jeep home:








Photos of the the break down :



Found some cancer imbedded on the driver side. Had to dig it all out:


Up close:


Bleh, more rust:


Everything sanded down and ready to be taped off:



And last but not least, the end result in 'chrome orange'!










I'm still in the process of getting everything hooked back up and attached, but this will give you a general idea. Thanks again fellas

 

Sweet!! Nice job. Came real close to orange.

 

...looks good...

 

Real nice

Where did you aquire those seats, another car or did you order them from somwhere, I was thinking of getting some seats from an Integra or another Acura sports car but I like those.

 

Thanks guys!

-Jack, I got them off ebay a little over a year ago. I payed around 300 shipped. The brand is FX Tuner. Here's a link to a set on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tuner-FX-Car-seats-Brand-New_W0QQitemZ130164937495QQihZ003QQcategoryZ33701QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

man that looks good. how hard was it to get the paint mixed and sprayed on?

 

looks great

 

Looks really great!

 

Looks much better!

 

Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, although I did get a few runs in it but nothing too bad.

The paint was easy to mix. It was a 1:1 ratio of paint and reducer for the base coat, 2:1 ratio for the urethane clear coat and hardener. Mixing and and spraying was easy-I didn't have any troubles considering it was my first time to paint a vehicle. Sanding and prep work was the most difficult part, however.
