Oh nice, I want to paint mine bright green, along with DS's, tie rod, TB, and diff covers. But I want to paint my axels black. Any tips on paining without removing anything, besides lots of masking

 

I attempted it with lense tint but after like 8 coats the light was still coming through

 

the light is supposed to come through atleast where i live id get pulled over if it isnt even jsut a corner of my light theyre sticklers here about everything, got pulled over one time cause my lights were to bright strange cuase they were they factory lights, guess it was quotta time or something.... not to mention my lights are pretty much useless already if i did that id never see anything

 

Well it says dont use more than 3 so light will come through. I used a whole can like 7 or 8 coats. I used 2 on my jeep lights haven't had a problem yet. But in my jetta I did 3 and they gave me a fix it ticket, all I did was take in an older picture of my car before the tint and they dropped it

 

For stuff like that I would clean clean clean, then degrease, then lightly sand or wirewheel it, then clean and degrease again, primer, paint, and clear coat (doesnt have to be high gloss). Thats what I did with my wheels and they turned out great with little to no chipping.

 

Also do light coats, less chance for chips. An since it is on the jeep while you paint it I would get some boxes cut them so they open out and use those to block what you dont want over spray on.

 

i wanna paint all that aswell just not sure what color dont wanna stick out to much, maybe a blue

 

Just about finished my bumpers today. Just need my d-rings to arrive in the mail.

 

Those look good, did you make yourself

A friend of mine did most of the work. Can't wait to get some lights mounted and get my recovery points on.

Nice looking XJ!

 

Seafoamed my jeep today. After I noticed a slight ticking sound coming from the head that I have never really heard before.
I did notice I have a exhaust leak coming from the donut ring gasket to the downpipe. I tried tightening flange thingy, but its still leaking. I'm hoping this is were the ticking is coming from.
