Had one rust spot that I didn't fix and it started coming back through the paint so I fixed it late last night. Note to self, all rust must be cut out or it will return.

Okay, so a friend came over this morning to help me spray the rest of the jeep. It came out great! I sprayed a few of the early coats, but he laid down the final coats of base coat and clear. Thanks for the help, Parker.

Paint Choice
Originally posted by Full Size JeeperThis is the paint I'am using.
Can I ask why you chose NAPA paint, (as opposed to I'm not sure what, I'm just wondering what the criteria was and how you selected it).
I looked and find it's $350 something per gallon. Is that about right?
Approximately how much paint do you think you've used so far?
Oh, and it looks great, I'm thinking of using it as well
Your results make me think that I can do this too.----------------------------

Why NAPA paint. A good friend used it to paint his 69 c/10 eight years ago and it has held up really well. I buy a lot from my NAPA (drive a school bus) so he gave me a brake on it. I used 3 gallons of silver, because I don't really know how to paint, and painted parts more than once. Also everything was painted on both sides. The roof took a half a gallon of white. A real painter could have painted the roof with a quart. I'am glad I did it, I learned a lot about painting and myself. At this point, I have no desire to paint another. I love working on cars, but I'am no painter. Good luck with your project!
Base coat...$187.95 a gallon
not sure price on hardener,
FC720 is the clear, it is 82.66 a gallon
Hardener for clear is 38.31 a quart1978 Wagoneer

It looks awesome. Paint is one thing I don't have patience for. Wish I had your patience and painting skills.
The Wag is going to look sweet when it's all together. Silver is one of my favorites colors and I can't wait to see it together. Great job!89 GW, 454, 700R4, 241C, 411's with posi's, 9" rearend, 2500 stall, lifted, and lots more to do.

Was able to get all my door catches cleaned, painted and installed. Also chased all the threads.

Now for the bad news. The paint we painted the front fenders, hood and tailgate was mixed wrong, and is slightly darker than the rest of the jeep. I have enough of the right paint to fix it, and will at some point.
