Who Painted Your Jeep?

8 Krylon rattle cans of Taupe at @5.50, not a single run on a warm day and $3.50 for the custom spray can gun thingy , to save the tip of my finger.

 

i know they arent spoken of here but i primered my 93 hatchback with zinser house primer lasted 2 years but it was a pain when we went to take it off to finally reshoot itended up having to bead blast the whole body to get it off but it held up through hail and high winds and loose gravel on the freeways at 120-130 + not in hail and wind i mean it held up to the gravel :dead horse:

 

That's what my bill came to, plus a bit

 

Did it myself, didnt come out great but works for now.

 

Rust-Oleum Industrial is 22 bucks a gallon at wallys. Sprays on really well with a little reducer. Just make sure your respirator is up to the task.

 

Im spraying mine with urethane enamel (single stage) and the color is going to be the color of your red craftsman tool box!

I am spraying in a professional paint booth, heated and everything, and using a friend's professional gun....its nice to have a friend in the auto body industry. The paint booth is at the place I used to work at. I will hopefully be laying the paint by the end of the month...maybe is a important word.

Everything else I used some Cheap Krylon Fusion...

 

Ive been rolling rustoleum for years. It turns out really nice but very time consuming. Now as far as the Tractor Supply paint ive done that to. Heres some spray Allis Chalmers Orange. You can spray from a can or spray from a gun. It turns out GREAT either way. A good looking paint job is how well you prep the material for paint.





In this pic i started painting the hood yellow. After i was done i let it sit outside all summer with a coat of wax on it. After the sun baked it on the paint is rock hard. I cant scratch it with my finger nails. The roof was done also in white which turned out really nice to. Everyone thats seen it did not believe i did it with off the shelf paint. Till i showed them the empty cans.

 

I painted my jeep with Rustoleum from cans. It is what it is...but it looks good enough for me. Most of the time the Jeep is dirty enough so it looks great

The nice thing about a cheap rattle can job is that it can be touched up real easy. I knew I'd be scratching it all up all the time, so an expensive paint job isn't for me.

 

I sprayed my Cherokee with allis chamers orange paint from tractor supply. used a spray gun worked well, but I had to go back and touch up some parts with a rattle can and the rattle can paint chipped off after a few month's. That was the only issue I had, except for the stupid moth that landed in it and got painted over.
