im looking fora good black paint, for bumpers, shackles, floors....ect...something that wont scratch too easy and looks really good...

what have some of you guys used and what kind of results did you get?

my buddy keeps telling me tremclad...but i dont know...

 

I use rustoleum.

 

go to your local automotive paint store. they'll recommend you the stuff you need. I dont know if you have a local Randy's paint and supplies but they really know their stuff.
but anything out of a can will probably scratch fairly easy. I used 4 coats of trim black on my bumper and it scratched when I dragged the portable compressor over it. but that wouldve scratched any paint. if you dont ever touch it, it will be fine haha

 

two part (gloss) Epoxy paint!

 

X2. I never had a problem with it chipping or scratching on my Tj or Yj bumpers. I plan on using it on my Xj bumper also

 

Ya know this is a good ?? Because someone shot at my Yammer Jammer and its chipped, would I be better off getting touch up paint to fix it or is spray can better?

 

First of all: :thud:

Second: you can get OEM colors in a spray can here: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/index.htm

 

The hard thing about those spray cans is that paint fades over time and that doesnt so you could potentially be spraying a "different" color on your Jeep

 

Akzo makes a great high gloss two part Epoxy paint. It's used on firetrucks, Airport Crash, Fire, and Rescue trucks. It wears like iron, and a b***h to DA off, If an item is sprayed the wrong color! I found out the hard way. It has to be sand blasted off.

 

It really just depends on the condition of your paint. Mine matched great. It seems like it depends on the color too.

 

in the states it's rustoleum.
in canada it's tremclad.
same thing really.

with that said, i use tremclad on everything. i even painted my whole jeep with roll on tremclad ($50 paint thread on moparts.com)

 

Hmmm....I may want to look into that. Where do you get yours?

 

Agreed, to get a perfect match you have to blend onto the adjacent panels, but on rigs that get scratched it doesnt make any difference if the paint doesnt match

 

The only problem with Epoxy anything is that it has no UV inhibitors and will chalk and degrade unless it lives most of its life out of the sun. The best trail paint that is easily touched up is a single stage Urethane enamel... and its cheap

 

It's used on vehicals like these; Attachment 118136
