Thanks for the complements. I think I only spent about $100 bucks to paint it. I got the paint for free that my brother had left over, bought reducer, clear coat, and hardener. I painted it with a spray gun that my dad had. For the trim, fenders and bumper caps Just bought spray on bedliner from walmart for like $8 a can and used about 3 cans. I did not paint the insides of the doors but i might later but i am not to worried about it for now (they have an orange mist. lol) other than that I took the time to mask real well. The worst part was sanding it cause the clear coat was peeling real bad in some spots. Well i hope that answered some of your questions.

Looks pretty nice on that jeep. Don't see many that color. Lady that works at my local AZ has a metalic tangerine '92 XJ thats pretty sweet for a stocker. I keep asking her when her cute little XJ is going to grow up.
