When I bought this MJ, that corner was wrinkled. So my idea is that I cut the bad sheet metal out, and installed another gas door, which is going to be an air and power outlet area.

I bought some spray cans from an autobody paint supply. I can't remember the brand, but it was a two part, where you had to break a divider in the can to mix the paint and hardener. It was close to $50 a can.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
