How many people have done spray paint jobs on their rigs? I am going to be doing my jeep as soon as I get all of the work done on my winter rebuild. I just got done painting one of my buddies jeeps over the weekend. Lets see some pics of rigs that have been spray painted. I will add some pics when the paint is dry.
We were considering doing that, but decided on spray right now. I may still consider going that way on mine though. Do you have any pics of your jeep after paint?
Just today we paryed white implament paint for the cab of my prerunner project. Thick coat and Looks great!!!! $37.00 a gallon LOL Also we used chassis saver gloss black on the frame AWSOME STUFF GUYS!!!!! $100.00 a gallon
I used implement paint on mine, I think it was rustoleum. It sprayed like crap, it has the old school pin point nozzle on it, not the new fan tips. Took about 7 cans I think
Its not the greatest, but for $30 I can't complain. I resprayed one of the fenders and it turned out like perfect, so I ended up sanding it down and reshooting it so it looked as bad as the rest. lol

Tower paint in Wisconsin is a great place to buy rattle can paint from. They use actual automotive paint and can match any paint code. So if there is a cool paint color you like just get the code and give them a call. I think I paid $8 a can with metallic flake in it.
i painted my old car with rustoleum all i did was 2 coats no sanding or buffing or clear the color it glossy white i bought gallon an thinned it out with mineral spirits an sprayed it with Lil compressor an cheap gun
alot of people misunderstand the painting process. I am by no means an expert but from what i have learned from trying to learn to do better quality painting myself was the fact that people think that no prep work is involved. so plain and simple.. PREP IS EVERYTHING. and can make or break your paint job. I plan on rattlecanning my blazer and i rattle canned some interior pieces in my truck after alot of sanding and prep work. still need to finish the rest of them once the weather gets nicer
by far my fav paint is rattle can rustoleum in satin black
covers sooooo good on the first pass
has a fan tip nozzle that is directional so you can get a smooth even pass
AND the satin gives you the flat black look but not the dusty primer lookin flat black
more like stealth bomber/batmobile black
try it
you will want everything painted with it afterwards.
Here is my roll-on rustoleum job, or at least a panel showing before and after wet sanding/polishing. Not perfect, but I didn't wet sand as much as I should have. Still looks good from a few feet away.
currently painting my FJ with Krylon Black. I am wet sanding right now. Alot of prep work. Will post pictures when it is done. I am even going to use Krylon Clear coat to make it shine.
my rattle bomb. i scuffed it wiped it down with spirits and went to town.
semi gloss black
