Welcome to the group, any Jeep pictures to share?

 

[lexbrooks]

Not yet, my '98 Sahara we bought new in '97, a hand me down from my wife when she got pregnant with our twin boys (now 20) got totaled 10-15 yrs ago.
I got hit from behind sitting still on an on ramp at 5:30 am.
It folded the left rear tire underneath the Jeep.
I bought the cheapest piece in town 5 or 7 yrs ago to fix up and replace the joy I found in a Jeep.
I've done nothing but mechanical work on it and put a new soft top on to keep the rain out after there was a blizzard inside one winter.
I've never even washed it.
It still has the original dirt inside from when I bought it.
Now's the time.....
I'm getting ready to gut the interior. New everything, new interior color, seats, radio, subwoofer mod, etc.
I was gonna leave the exterior stock black and rust and put a clear coat on it, but I discovered that new paint.
I'm gonna wagner power paint it purple .
I'll take progress photos and keep you guys updated.

Ok, let me see if I have this right. You're going to paint a totaled '98 Sahara over black and rust and dirt with a house paint gun, purple (house paint, furniture paint, auto paint?).

Welcome! This should be fun to watch.

And what's this part you desperately want?

No, I bought a piece of junk after the other one got totaled.
The Wagner has an auto paint system.
It's been replaced by the 4300 or something like that.
And the paint I was going to use has that single stage, that has the paint and the clear coat in it.
And no it's not house paint or furniture paint.
Plus I'm not looking for showroom quality man.
Surely you've been around here long enough to realize everybody likes a dirt-filled Jeep.
My friend painted his Toyota luv with eight cans of matte black out of a rattle can.
If he can do that surely I can make it look halfway presentable.
It'll probably look pretty good from 50 yards away.
Plus nobody said you had to watch

I tried to make it funny. That's the problem with being socially inept. It doesn't always work.
