I'm getting ready to paint my jeep and have heard of people spraying them with Krylon. My jeep is a beater and I don't want to spend big money painting it. So post your pics of your rattle can paint job...so I can get some idea's. Thanks guys!!

Any paint job, rattle can or not, is all about the prep work. I probably have 30 hours into sanding and repairing into the second paint job. Of course that includes the flat fender conversion too. And yes it is 100% Krylon spray paint. I used a palm sander for most of the heavy sanding and hand sanded a few times between primer coats to smooth everything out. It's about as good of a job as you can get with all the wrong tools.

I am little curious myself. I was thinking about trying a air gun with some paint from keystone.

wow, havent been on here in a while (got back to school and been busy busy busy), but daddyjeep, that is a SUPERB ratttle can job. and i have to agree with the prep comment. whats the saying, measure times but only cut once. not the same thing, but kinda has the same gist... haha

i vote use rust oleum. you have to roll on like 20 coats and wet sand it but after that and buffing it looks just like a real paint job and lasts. search on it on google and youll see what can be done.

I think it contrasts well with the green. Plus it's the same color as the factory soft top and my interior. I've wanted a green jeep with a tan top since I was 7 years old, now that I finally have one, I see no need to change it. :flipoff:
