Please do not use all caps. That is considered shouting on the internet. It is in poor taste. It makes your post hard to read. Many people will just pass you over and not read it.

How you paint your Jeep is your personal choice.

For lift kit questions, check the Forum front page. There is a permanent category just for lift questions. That way we don't have to repeat advice all the time.

Thank you.

KRYLON?

Krylon Fusion.

I painted the interior of my Grand Am all gloss black from the stock light grey. I wish i had just gone to the junkyard and gotten a black interior. It looks good and all with no runs/drips but spraypaint just cant compare to factory. especially if the plastic has any texture on its finish. on smooth panels it looked ok but the textured stuff just looked like spraybombed plastic.

I have seen Cherokees here on Craigslist with totally rotted bodies but decent interiors for under 300 bucks. See if you can pick up a donor jeep to take the interior from. Plus youll get any other parts you could need off of it.

If you do the outside make sure you do it on a day with LOW humidity and no wind. My friend sprayed his porsche inside one of those carports made from pipe with a tarp on top that he wrapped with dropcloth. The humidity caused massive orange peel covering almost the whole car and the wind kept finding its way under the sides of the carport leaving specks of mica from his gravel driveway all over it. Plus bugs stuck to your new paintjob just plain sucks!

Don't paint the outside by yourself, it will be a total disaster

For the inside
Even if you use krylon it will look like dung. Your best bet is to use SEM product.
You need to rip everything out to do it right, overspray is a *****.
There is alot of info on internet if needed

My brother took clases on how to use their products, prety amazing stuff.

Goodluck and stop yelling LOL

ask at the part house they should have a interior color for plastic and vinyl

Fusion has worked for most of the small plastic parts quite well. I recommend you paint it in a well ventilated area and not in direct sunlight.

definately krylon fusion is the way to go. used it many times with excelent results

RedBaron

I used Krylon Fusion to paint all the exterior plastic parts on my travel trailer a year ago and everything still looks factory fresh.

All the plastic had turned yellow. Using White Fusion after a good cleaning and masking everything looks really new again. The only problem is color selection. Not very many.

Plan two. On my XJ's bumper corners I used a plastic primer then reguler Krylon top coat. That is holding up well also.

Have fun.

^ maybe thats why he wrote in all caps my eyes were going crazy.

Krylon Fusion huh, I was wondering the same thing.

Also, not sure the NEED HELP BAD title was really worth it. Save those titles for when your stranded, otherwise no one will care next time. Just a thought.

i just painted some interior parts with krylon and it looks good, alot better than i thought it would. as for the outside if your looking to go cheap and do it yourself you could use tractor paint. they also have a type of paint at tractor supply called truck and trailer paint for 50 bucks. ive never used it but i know they got it.
