They pretty much repainted the whole truck. Fixed dent on door edge, dent on hatch, repainted hood as it was down to bare metal around the edges. Looks great, I'm really happy with it now. It wasn't a 10k paint job but it sure looks a lot better for an old jeep.

Looks great! I'm hoping to get mine painted sometime in the coming year. Maybe get some of the dents beat out (just to get replaced with new ones...)

Nice, wish I had the roof rust on my last Cherokee taken care of before it was too late.

Any good way to stop rust? I had the whole corner of the passenger side windshield all rust out. I did a quick patch up with epoxy to fill in the hole (large) and keep from raining inside.

POR15, RustBullet, or ChassisSaver. It works best if you coat both sides of the panel and you must use at least 2 coats (follow the instructions), if it is exposed to UV (sunlight) make sure to top coat it (it will fade otherwise), honestly I'd top coat it no matter where it is for additional chip protection. It won't fix your rust (only cutting out/new metal will do that) but will keep it from getting worse.

I've used POR15 in the past and that stuff is bullet proof. Very legit. Just make sure you don't get it on your skin, as it will NOT come off
