Cant Wait to see it Painted.. I think I am going to Pait my body as soon as it gets warmer... above 50*.. I am going to go all the way up to the body line below the door handles with Dupli-Color Spray in bed liner. And That same weekend doo the entire inside the same way. with the Roll on apllication. Then shortley after that spray the entire underbody with ruberized undercoating to slow the already starting rust.

But cant wait to see pictures!!!

Be sure to do your due dilligence in prep. The dealer I am buying my xj from thought it would be a good idea to herculine the top, under the cargo rack and all the way to the windshield.

It's already peeling and looks like garbage. I'll have to strip that junk off and start over. Luckily, he didn't put it on too thick.

Oh well, it's a bargaining chip on the price of the heep.

(I haven't officially purchased it yet)

I took the roof rack off. I plan on doing the whole roof. Drip rail to drip rail. Front windshiel to back hatch. Won't do hatch though unless it really needs it to look good.

My last cherokee I did all the way up to the door handle body line. It looked good.
I want to see what it looks like just doing the lower half.

Leo, you need to get a lift and tires on that thing soon. As soon as the snow melts I'm gonna come by and grab you and we're gonna meet Keaton, Brandon, Tampa and Mudallday for a 4wheeling trip down at Evans Creek.
