Alexia Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 TCP Global mispacked the color kit and only sent a pint of reducer instead of a quart. They are sending out a quart this week. Everything was ready to spray color today. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain coming too........ 3PM was looking like a good time. 50% range of humidity and a minimal chance of rain. I might go ahead use the pint I have to paint the cowl cover. I can not sand the primer smooth in fear of scraping through to the plastic. So, paint two wet coats of color, sand that smooth, and then paint it with one wet coat with the rest of the body.

HOrnbrod Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Yeah, looks like the little front coming up from the south will slide by just east of Huntsville. It's losing steam too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent the past week grinding out rust and applying filler on the bed. Curse you! :P O-Gauge Steamer over on NAXJA let everyone know that Sprintex is wholesaling the remaining prototype XJ kits. I ordered one and it is on the way. This means I can install a professional setup and keep air conditioning. Safelite came to install a new windshield today. I ended going with the rubber trim due to the condition of the chrome trim.

Alexia Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 This is the last of the paint. I can put all the tools away and forget about it! This paint coverage is better than factory with 100% color everywhere an owner would normally look. Instead of primer still visible in some spots like around the fuel filler door. Lets ignore the blob of filler under the second E. After spending six hours of this tail gate, with it being the best of two, it was time to just paint it.

Your photography skills accentuate your creation. Welding rod fasteners?Photography is my other currently on hold hobby. Just need a new lens... Ohhh shiny Jeep part! *Buy now* Welding rod fasteners? Do you mean the zip ties? Fender flares are in the process of being painted. I also have to drill out all the studs on the rear flare retainers since every bolt broke.
