Basically just need to scuff the paint really well, make sure all the shine is gone and theres no wax or grease on the surface. As far the flares, just remember this stuff is not as flexible as the plastic and will break and chip off if twisted enough.

 

any idea how to take out the black sticer that is there? bc it been so many years since they put it in,, now it real real hard to pull out,,

 

Belto , not sure I get what you mean

 

Are you talking about the sticker on some rigs behind the rear tire? If so, use some mild heat(like a blow dryer) and heat it, once it starts to get soft, keep heating it but scrap it with a Flat edged razer blade...

 

ok you know some xj have a plastic molding on the bottom of the body,, well from there to the end of the body it has a black sticker, it looks like paint but it is a vinyl...

 

Yep have friend that pulled his off and bedlined it.Looked dam good.

that looks BA I want.. lol

 

Wow that truck looks different now.

 

Yes it does. It went through a bit of a roll over.

 

I got my front bumper done today. I pretty happy with this.


Now I have to get these installed.


AJ's 3/16 Super Rails.

 

what did you use to mark your lines? regular painters tape? did you took it of before or after it had dried?

 

I used 3m 1/8" Fine line tape to outline the areas to be painted. Then masked it off with Blue painters tape. I let it dry for probably half hour to 45 min before I pulled the tape.

 

Deffinately looking good! Have you thought about doing the front fenders, to match the rear? Deffinately looks good flareless. Did you just cut to the top of the fender flares?

Some of the autobody supply stores carry a clear undercoat that is sprayable and I do believe it is more flexable. It may be a good solution to use on the fender flares or the bumper caps for a little extra protection

 

Yep I did think about doing the front fenders. The passenger front fender does have good size crease in it where I dropped that side off the trail edge.
Yep I cut where the flare was.

 

Either way it looks good. That is where I plan to cut mine for 35" tires. Just making sure that it will look that way. I think it would look good with the front fenders done, but it also may look to conformed. The only reason would be to make it uniformed. But now that I think about it just rock what your rocking right now. Gooooooood lookin' xj no matter what! When you did the back did you just section it and roll it under to where the flare was?
