Has anyone tried painting a steel bumper? I recently got my hands on a 75th anniversary edition steel bumper, and as you know the color isn’t black but bronze. Being that I got the bumper for cheap, I was wondering if there was a DIY way of painting it black. Should I sand it? I’m not really...

Hey people, I found some stuff online about using kevlar paint. It looks really neat and I'm interested, however I have no experience with it. I have a couple air sprayers and a large compressor. I know how to use them for normal auto painting, etc. But I am not finding how to properly...

Ok so basically my moss green 95' yj has been parked in the sun for a while and the paint on the hood got destroyed (it's only on the hood and the area above). I don't really wanna go to a shop and get it professionally redone so I've come here with ideas on what to do with it. I just want it to...

hi! this is my 92, ive been thinking about adding some accents instead of making it completely blacked out (exterior). however im having a hard time picking a color & i have no clue what exactly i should paint. any suggestions?

Hello all! These are likely very unhelpful photos - but today I noticed a ding in my driver door. It’s quite small but for somebody who takes a lot of care to avoid cosmetic damage I am hoping I can get some advice on how to address? A local auto body owner took a look and said it’s not clear...

Have a black JL that I took to get the hinges repaired on the hood and on all 4 doors. (covered under warranty). They said the paint would match the rest of the vehicle. It did not. Long story short the dealer attempted to correct the issue 3 different times before repainting the entire vehicle...

My Jeep is currently silver and I cover rust spots with slate primer spray. I would like to redo my Jeep entirely in black primer so I can use it in airsoft events and primer rust spots without the mixed silver/slate colour. I also want my Jeep to blend better when it's under a camo net while...

Hi, Has anyone painted their black plastic fender flares to match the body? If so, were you happy with the result? What are the steps? Sanding smooth, undercoat, body color paint, clear coat? Thanks for any advice and experience.

Hi guys, Have a 2015 Rubicon 4 door, Hydro Blue. Bought it with chips in the door hinges (mainly back ones but couple on the front ones too). They are filled in with touch up paint but don't look great. I want to remove them, sand the whole hinge and repaint. The chips are to the metal. Anyone...

I'm the 4th owner of my 08 Silver jk Sahara, and when I drove it off the used lot the flares matched the paint. Not long after we clay bar and waxed it and the paint on the fender flares only started chipping really bad. I was wondering how long the paint would last if either I sand blasted the...

Hey all! Wanted to get an idea of what I am getting myself into. I got the Pro Comp SERIES 7032 17X9. And am also installing BFgoodrich KO2s 33". I drive a Deep Cherry red 2013 JKU and am looking into paint matching the rims either 2 tone black outer rim or just full paint match. If anyone can...

Hey guys, Exciting news and a few questions: I just managed to score a 1979 Ford F-250 Camper Special, with Dana 60s front and rear. My old YJ is daily driven by my brother now and he managed to blow up 2 diffs within a couple months, idk how but thats of no concern now since I found the holy...

I am trying to decide whether to paint or raptor line the exterior of my LJ. I took it to my local Maaco, and they quoted me $1700 for the urethane + clear coat (their $700 paint job). Additional costs included $300 to sand the hood and fenders to bare metal and prime, sealer at $300, blah...

My wife has a JK sport with the regular textured black fender flares. They were getting pretty faded and I accidentally got some wax on them so they were really starting to look like crap. I painted one with some rustoleum bedliner and it actually turned out pretty good, but she really liked the...

Everyone knows road salt is hard on all parts of a vehicle but what the hell is this? The previous owner dropped the door when putting it back on and damaged the door as well as the body. The first photo show the repair after painting. Color matching 9 years of fade is never easy but it's...

I just picked up a hardtop for my JKU pretty cheap with all the hardware. The only issue is the freedom panels are horribly scratched. Nothing deep but white everywhere (wayyy too much for a sharpie or paint pen). The back part is in pretty good shape so I probably will leave it alone for now...

My black hard top has suddenly blistered/bubbled! Mostly along the top, but one blister cracked off towards the bottom. Is this a known issue? Not happy obviously.

Hello all, I was given a Poison Spyder hood louvre, but it coated in the PS black powder coat. How could I paint it to match my body could? I have read that touchup spray paint might not stick. Anyone have any experience painting it? Thanks!
