Thanks for the confirmation, that is not orange RTV. It is some overspray from a can of red spray paint that I am in the process of painting for when I do the swap.

Alright, you're off the hook.

cliffy

It was either Ford Red or Great Dane Yellow.

What you had kicking around?

cliffy

Actually what my neighbor had, he used to own a Kubota dealership. When I told him my plan he started handing out cans of paint.

shoot, send me some red. i will paint the whole body hahaha

cliffy

The only issue is if I hit him up for more paint and he cannot see it sitting in my driveway.......haha. I am using the yellow on a diff. cover and I like that one too.

camohunter01

well hell. no good. tell him it will be for good use. I'm sure it can't handle this south tx summer heat anyway haha

cliffy

I am in the beginning of this whole thing, so I want to try a couple things and see how it looks. I would imagine any body painted by 10 year old spray paint won't last long no matter where you are. I have been neighbors with the guy for five years and he had sold the Kubota shop before I moved in.

yeah thats some old stuff there.

cliffy

multiple coats and some clear it will still look better than it did before

cliffy

I just looked at the pics of yours Camo, I would not change that at all.

apparently, the guy i bought it from, purchased it from a man who inherited it from a relative who passed away. murdered to be exact. it sat for 6 years, untouched. so this guy says he changed engine oil, filter, trans, put a new battery, and some tires on it. the tires will need replacing before too long, but he told me he was just gonna use it for a hunting truck. i bought it, had to go through the whole bonded title process to get a title. he didn't have it. i want to be able to drive it on the street. also ranch/huntin use. I'm debating on leaving the camo or going one solid color. he actually did a decent job on it. some runs here and there, but i was impressed.

The camo job is one of a kind for sure, I need to paint mine but there is so much other stuff to do I would rather have a strong running and mechanically sound XJ than a shiny one sitting in my driveway.

I completely agree
