Pics of new paint job
After a week of waiting for the phone to ring - I got the Jeep back from the body shop last Friday and today is its first time back on the road. I need to give the paint a few more days to cure then I'll start re-attaching all of the trim and new badges.
The top half was painted back to the factory code for 1991 Sport silver while the bottom was treated with a rock guard (bedliner) material. For consistency, I had the bumpers done with the rock guard as well.
After 200K miles - all of the exterior trim is faded and in need of being re-painted as well. The shop gave me a can of the same stuff they used on the mirrors and grill so it should all look the same. As long as it does not rain this weekend, I’ll re-paint the trim and roof rack.
I'm also getting ready to order a new custom front bumper - but that won't be added for another month or so.
Here's how it looked when I bought it:
And here's how it looks today:
Next big step is to finish the headliner and interior.
I'll post some new pix when everything has been re-installed and cleaned up.

I've noticed in the past two days that my roof is much more flexible now and wobbles a lot more when I shut the door.
I figured it was the roof rails so they'll be going back on for sure.

Looks Great!!! that something i would love to do to my jeep once the paint goes bad, but with the shape my paint is in now i don't think ill find any reason to push myself to put money toward that. I also think your jeep looks sleek with out the badging. Great Job!!!
