hey guys i got a few surface rust spots that ima fix up. I have the dark green jeep cherokee im sure you guys know what it looks like. Im trying to find some rust oleum paint that will match it okay. I know its not going to be perfect but just so its at least the same shade.

I looked online and theres Meadow Green,Hunter Green,Hunt Club Green,Moss Green,Leafy Green, thats about it i tried the hunter green and its more like bluish/green. im thinking maybe moss green but any input on this ??

thanks.

Check your paint code inside your door jamb. You will be able to find a factory match at your local auto paint store. If they don't have it they can order for you in spray or bottle.

You're looking for "Forest Green Pearl." Duplicolor Paint code # PG8.

a okay thanks guys will check it out. And does that duplicolor protect from rust as well ? actually as long as i sand it down and use a primer i should be good i believe.

sand, primer with Rustoleum rust preventor flat gray. Sand again, prime again. Duplicolor 2 coats, do a very fine sand, then do another coat and the 2 coats of clearcoat.

oh man so i gotta buy some clear coat as well ? i got the rust oleum self etching primer and ima go get that forest green pearl paint.

If you don't want it to fade out quickly, then yes, you'll want some clear coat as well. You can get it in a spray can for pretty cheap.

a makes sense, i will get that than. Il keep this updated once i get it done il take some before and after pics.

huntsman

so this would work for the clear coat http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ier=59654_0_0_

huntsman

alright cool thanks for the help everyone

i bought the forest green pearl today and clear coat, ima try and do it on thursday. hope it turns out good.

huntsman

well that pg8 paint is pretty close in color now my question is i got a rust spot that went through and theres a hole. I have the metal mesh to put over it but do i put it behind the panel or on/ in front of it ? cause then ima put bondo on it and sand it and paint it. Also when i use bondo do i have to put a primer before or after it ?

while painting do i want to tape it of ? i tried today and if i tape it it leaves lines if i free hand it its nice a smooth.

thanks guys.
