I am seeing the same trend from all of your posts. That is, lots of sun and heat. Neither of which my car have been able to get since I painted it 4 months ago. I kept it in the garage for the last 4 months hoping the paint would cure. But, due to the wet winter and now all of this rain we are...

I always use laquer thinner when ever I paint a vehicle. I usually clean all the surfaces and let it dry before I add paint. Then again, I usually use base/clear.

That makes a whole lot of sense. I had not thought about it that way. I am just hoping that with all the rain we are getting here in Georgia the paint does not start washing off. I guess I will let it run its course. Worst come to worst, I may do what Coffey said. Take a pressure washer to it...

This is after two coats. It seemed to be sticking well at that point, LOL.

Here are shots of the car prepped right before I began spraying. I primed a few of the spots that had rust and such, but I figured the base would be my "primer". Did I goof up by not using the Behr Primer/Paint? If so any ideas on solutions?

I did prime the spots that had rust or bare metal on the car like you. I used the Rustoleum primer in a can. What I did not do, was prime the entire car. However, I did not sand it down to bare metal. I only sanded down to the base coat kind of like when painting Base/Clear. I figured the base...

So, does that mean I'm going to have to start all over? Or is there any way to save what I've got?

Hey folks, I have a few questions about the Behr paint process and adhesion that I hope you all can help me with. However, I will provide some background info first. Over the winter, I started a project on my Jeep Cherokee (I know it's not an MV, but I wanted my XJ to match my Deuce; and from...

That usually does not work with my wife, but at least with mine she will get mad for a few days and then she gets over it. Nice buy it looks good! Congrats and enjoy. When you get ready to do the brake work, seals and E Brake (and if you dont mind) let me know. It would be awesome if I could...

Will read it tonight at work since I have a Jeep Cherokee 4.0. Thanks Marcus.

Good reading, knowledge base and entertainment... oh yes I'm in. Thanks Zout.

It's a shame we are not closer we could get together and tackle both rigs at one time. You know what they say; two minds are better than one.

Thank You very much for the information. I will be doing the very same thing in about a month and was somewhat nervous about doing it without reference. Subscribed.

Enjoy!

Howdy from Conyers, Ga. I had an 83 CJ "Old Faithful", man I miss it; had to sell it because of the family expanding. Now I've got a JK and still have my XJ. I always planned on installing a 4bt in it, but I never could blow up the 4.2. If you ever want to hit the trails let me know.

Yessir! I will defintely be at Durhamtown this year. Its actually not that far from my place (about a 45 minute ride), so hopefully I will join with some of you in the caravan.

Where is the Florida rally being held at? Depending on the distance (and work schedule) I will try and make it. However, if its too far then I'm not sure about taking the trip. I have not had the opportunity to really go through the Deuce and make sure that it is road worthy for a long trip yet...

Welcome from Conyers. Im next on the list for an M1028.
