Use index cards instead of newspaper to tape 'em off.
Clean with acetone (wear gloves!)
Sand good
Light coat of primer
Good coat of primer (then maybe another)

Oh and I like the rack! I'm probably going to build the same way you did! What are the rectangular steel pieces called? I've tried looking for them, but I never know what to ask for since.

how did you mount the rack to the jeep and what are you using for the floor of it? seems like a pretty cool way to build a rack. how much did it cost? It would be cool if you got some better pics of it on.
