Heres the passenger side front fender with two coats of the krylon camo tan on. This stuff covers great with white primer underneath.

I finished up spraying the fenders yesterday. I used three coats just to be safe. Today I wet sanded them with 2000 grit sand paper and dang they came out superb!!! I just started masking of the rear quarter panels so I can spray them tonight.
Im so excited to get my whole Jeep sprayed in this color, its not even funny. If anyone is thinking about doing it, I highly recomend it! This paint is a very quality product and very tough. And after its wet sanded, it looks and feels like a satin paint job. Like the old hot rodders sometimes spay their cars with.

Heres what I got done today. Ran into a problem with the paint I bought today. I had to go to a different store cause the store I usually go to was all out of it. I had a bad feeling when the only two cans of paint looked like another can of paint had exploded on them. What the hey though. I bought them anyways. So I got home and started to spay and noticed that it looked different than usual. I couldnt tell if it was just the light I was looking at it in or if I was just being parinoid. It defiantly was the paint. Sprayed some paint I had left over next to the stuff I just bought and it was for sure different. Both cans were jacked up!
I ended up going to another store and grabing some more and this is how it turned out. I love it! Just have the hatch and the roof left.
I think Im gonna call her the "J-7" like the military J-8 wranglers, only better.
Ill take some better pics tomorrow out in the sun.
And all the paint fumes gave me a nasty headache. UGH!

Here she is in the sun! I still need to wet sand everything and it will look even better. Before I can do that, I have to do a few more touch ups around the window trim where the paint didnt get into. Also need to get all the badges on and the factory roof rails. Cut and paint the 2nd gen XJ flares and put those on. Tint the windows... etc. etc. Oh, and spray the door and hatch jams. Thats gonna be very time consuming and boring. And I might take all the chrome off too. I dont know yet though.
