Can't think of a better primer to use. That stuff is da bomb! Follow that up with several coats of K38 and she'll be looking good.
Add some clear to the mix and she’s starting to look like something again!
Made a little headway today. Buffed and starting to put her back together
We use the 3-M system. Started with 1500-2000-3000-5000 then the white compound with the white pad, then gray glaze with the grey pad, and them the blue finishing glaze with the blue foam pad.
I keep telling myself that but after doing restorations and show cars most my life I don’t know when to stop!
Things always go faster the second time you do it.
Made a little headway today. Starting to get my basement cleared out of jeep parts. Waiting on the big brown truck to drop off some more parts,and the sliders to get back from powder coat. If all goes well I will have it together over the weekend. If not My wife might be filing for a divorce!
Yes, it was a lot easier to paint them yellow now and if I didn’t like them paint them black again than it was to paint them yellow later and worry about a color match.
And I had a oh f&@k moment today! Bought a used gate off a 2000 to get rid of the vent in the back and apparently the lock cylinder is smaller! The 04 one doesn’t fit. Now I have to come up with a fix for that.
Glass is in, all new handles,weatherstripping, seals, mirrors. Roll cage padding and covers are done. Hopefully tomorrow night I will have the sliders and the bumpers ready to go.
