I've been thinking lately about painting on my jeep some. The rockers and bottom parts of the doors and the rear quarter panels have some surface rust. It's not exactly bad but it doesn't look the best. Is there anyway you can repair surface rust and actually make it look decent? I guess i'm just gonna bondo it and sand it down real good and smooth it out and i'm wanting to use spray-on bedliner i've seen it done and it looks pretty good(it'll be black). How do you think it'll look? I'm wanting to paint from the blue line down on both sides. don't mind my mad tite paint skillz

Im a big fan of the bed liner on the bottom so i think it will look good. shouldn't be to hard to do
ill be doing it after i lift mine also

Moved to Chat so we can talk about it here

try ta hammer as much out as possiable for the dents and then use some primer that builds and prevents rust. then definitly paint it with the bedliner spray, it looks awesome and tough

by the way, nice looking xj there

Thanks for moving it. I'm gonna start on it early sunday and hopefully i'll have it done around lunch time or so.

Thanks man I 'preciate it I can't wait to spray it I think its gonna look great!

Also, if someone could just photoshop the area below the blue line black that'd be cool so I could get an idea of how its gonna turn out

i have photo shop on my other computer. but you can look at my build to see what mine looks like for the liner. But trust me, itll look awesome. you can also look at the jeep build War Machine, its my friends MJ but it was white. I told him to do the bottom black liner and his turned out sweet to.

I did it to mine about 3 mos ago , its looks and holds up real well

Hope this is what u ment or ill look like a real idiot.

for surface rust, you usually can sand it off. you need to sand wherever you are painting first anyways so the paint will stick.

Sand it down and use some rust-bullet or 415 before painting it, that will prevent further rust problems in that area.

Where'd you get those Jeep wheels?

you can get those jeep wheels all over by me. they came on some years. but obviously those are painted black
