My Xj is a 96 2dr in flame red and it has the trim (quarter panel I think it's called, or rocker guard...??) and it's painted black because that's how the sports were. But it's kinda worn and tired looking now and wondering if anyone has painted it on their Xj. I assume someone has lol
And what do you guys think of my xj?

 

is that diesel??

we must see pics of the motor !!!

or it didn't happen

 

They didn't offer a diesel in 96, only 85-87 and they were **** motors. BP has green pumps around here whether they're diesel or not.

OP looks clean, but I hate the 96 trim with that red stripe for it. I'd pull it all and bedline the lowers with a quality bedliner. Looks cleaner and better overall imo.

edit: If you want to keep it get a heat gun and use it on them. It'll pull the black back out, just make sure not to hold it in one spot too long or it will discolor it and it can damage the clear coat. Sweep back and forth as if you were spray painting it.

 

yeah, that red rubber molding is kinda 96 looking.... What if I want to be lazy and put a strip of electrical tape over the red part if the strip? I bet that I'll cover it And half my xj's weight is bedliner, stainless steel sheet metal, and rivets...

 

i used black bumper/trim paint and it worked pretty good on mine. i also use to have a lot of success using krylon fusion paints.

 

This will definitely work it has a Xj on the can

 

I'm kinda picky when it comes to **** like rigs.... for a stocker you've got a SHARP lil 2 door! Love the zj, or tj wheels on it.... looks good

 

thanks, pretty good for a first car huh?
