I am fed up with automotive painters. I finally convinced my frugal brain that I should really have my truck painted professionally. I have been talking with the painter for a while. He kept pushing the date ahead because of the weather and such. We had agreed on a price and it was going to be done this month. I went to see him yesterday and he can’t believe that he agreed to do it for the quoted price :fs1: . There is not way he would be able to do it for that price ($1,500). “Good gosh man, I would be close to that in just materials!” I say to heck with all of them, I am going to learn how to paint and do it myself. I have ordered an instructional DVD from this guy -> http://www.easypaintyourcar.com/, and I am going to give it a shot on my own. I am going to practice by painting my CJ7 first. This way I can have something to drive while the MJ is down and to gain some experience before tackling the truck. For those of you who have done painting yourself, do you have any tips/advice on painting your own vehicles? Any suggestions on tools that are a must have? Thanks - Rich

So do I my freind, so do I :thumbsup:

Don't know what I like more - the MJ or the HotWheels banner :dunno: . Nah, it's the MJ (but I really dig the banner). Oh yeah - Welcome to CC :cheers:

Looks good - nice job :thumbsup:

Banned may have been a bit harsh - I think he is in time out :D

As Cadences' daddy would say - if he wasn't constantly getting banned from the CC- We are proud of you Kid ;)

:agree: That was the only thing I would have suggested. It looks really nice in there - great job!

Dayem that is scary. :eek: I am glad to hear you both are ok. I would have soiled myself.

Wow, wow, wow. I really like your truck. I was originally trying to get Hellcats for my truck, but like Kittrell said - they have been out of production for years. There are so many new members and rigs it is hard to keep up - that is a very good thing. Welcome :cheers:

1) You have an awesome Dad 2) Super Nice Jeep 3) I am feeling a little "green" with envy 4) Welcome to the club :thumbsup: :cheers: - Rich

Black interior is :drool: . Looks like you have new rear springs - any information on them from the previous owner? Your Jeep looks great :popcorn: - long bed lover too :brows: .

Awesome :thumbsup: . The truck is looking really nice. I look forward to the rock rails being installed. Thanks for "giving back" :clapping:

Welcome to the club Cadence :brows: . I am sure you will not have the same probems "logging in" to the CC like your Daddy. Congratulations to you both :cheers:

I had to look for the second build :brows: . The other one is coming along nicely. :cheers:

Yeah, the floor looks to be in great shape. Good for you - mine wasn't that nice. Good luck with your build :thumbsup:

Very, very nice . Wow - Congrats.

That is nice to see :bowdown:

I will try this one - I believe the light works of the RPM/Tach of the Truck. If his is anything like mine, it hits higher RPM's at start up and triggers the light to go off. That almost sounds plausible ~ even if it was pulled from my back pocket :D

I noticed a big difference. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8051&start=210= DIY write-up here-> viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11980 Size does matter ;)

That is cool - nice work :thumbsup:

CC member "hermes542" has one on his MJ. Check it out here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15762. You could PM him and find out where he got his :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

I think he "F'd it up" at the end of the video :yes: . That does make me want to ride again. Sadly, they closed down the Skate/Bike park down we used to go to. They have a BMX Dirt track around the corner from me now. I guess it is coming back into popularity. Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Aesop Rock - pretty cool. I am looking to get a cd now :cheers: . Which one should I get?

Sorry Dan - nothing at the yard this week. About 15 4.0's and one 2.8, but it had an auto. I will keep looking for you.
